Psychology & health
My master’s dissertation in philosophy of psychology evaluated theories on ‘mirror neurons’ as the neurophysiological basis of empathy.
My undergraduate philosophy degree also had a psychological leaning, with my dissertation focusing on what ancient philosophers had to say about happiness amid uncertainty, misfortune, and fear of death.
