About me

I'm an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Maryland, College Park. I work mainly in philosophy of science and metaphysics. Though recently I've been doing some work in metaethics and normative ethics.

I'm currently working on projects investigating the nature and theoretical role of coincidences; the Humean approach to metaphysics; and how understanding the nature of scientific explanation can help us make progress on some classic disputes in metaethics.

Before coming to Maryland I received my PhD from NYU in 2017. My thesis was about explanation in the special sciences. Before that I did a B.Phil in Philosophy and a BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, both at the University of Oxford.

My email is bhogal@umd.edu.

Here is a CV.

Also, I'm on Philpeople.
