About
I am currently an M.Phil (Masters in Philosophy) Student, specialising in Applied Ethics, with a further specialisation in Biomedical Ethics, at the Centre for Applied Ethics, Stellenbosch University, Cape Town, South Africa.
I was the runner-up winner for the Centre for Inquiry’s Campaign for Free Expression Essay contest, 2010. I was on the BBC4 documentary, The Tutu Talks, debating secularism in Africa and the world, in a round-table discussion with the Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
I am a contributing editor to Secular Humanist Bulletin. I have written for Free Inquiry, Skeptic Magazine, and numerous European humanist magazines: including original articles for Fritanke, in Sweden, and translations of my work have appeared in the magazine for the Polish Rationalist Association. I am also a columnist at 3quarksdaily.com, where my more focused writings on practical ethics can be found.
