My research is in natural language semantics and pragmatics. In particular, I study presupposition, the logical connectives, definite descriptions and pronouns, epistemic language, questions, context-sensitivity, and game-theoretic accounts of meaning.

My subject is cultural history, focusing on the period 1750-1900. My principal interest is in the connection between objects and ideas, the expression of abstract concepts in three-dimensional artefacts. I have written on this theme in the context of the Victorian Gothic Revival, the cultural history of Stonehenge and antiquarianism in the Romantic period.

My research focuses on game-theoretic microeconomics, with emphases on bargaining and arbitration, strategic communication, matching markets, learning, and coordination. My current research areas are behavioural and experimental game theory, and behavioural economics more generally.
