About

This is a picture of what I look like, relatively professionally and somewhat recently.

My surname is two words hyphenated: ‘Habgood-Coote’ (no ‘e’ in ‘Habgood’, silent ‘e’ in ‘Coote’). Here is a recording of me saying it.

I am an endurance runner with Bristol and West AC, where I run a lot of different distances.

In 2016 I won the Scottish Impact and Outreach in Philosophy Prize for a project that used tools from epistemology to help self-coached runners think about their training. I recently talked about some of these ideas on a couple of running podcasts.

At St Andrews, I helped to set up and run a MAP chapter, which ran a mentoring scheme for people from groups that have historically been under-represented in philosophy, and worked on diversifying undergraduate syllabi.
