Hello, my name is Daniel Esmonde Deasy and I am an Associate Professor in the School of Philosophy at University College Dublin (UCD). My academic CV is here and my contact details are below.
1. Research.
My research is primarily in the philosophy of time and metaphysics of modality. See here for a list of my publications, and see here for my Google Scholar profile.
2. Supervision & Mentoring.
Since joining UCD I have supervised PhD theses by Dr. Luca Banfi and Dr. Naomi Corlett. I am currently supervising a further PhD thesis on timelessness by Rachel Russell. From 2022-24 I acted as Mentor to Irish Research Council (IRC) Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Patrick Dawson. If you are interested in working with me either as a PhD student or Postdoctoral Fellow, or have questions about doing so, please email me at daniel[dot]deasy[at]ucd[dot]ie. The Research Ireland website provides information on PhD and Postdoctoral funding opportunities.
3. Service.
I am Co-Director with Alison Fernandes (Trinity College, Dublin) and Matyáš Moravec (Queen's University, Belfast) of the Irish Society for the Philosophy of Time; Director of the UCD Newman Centre for the Study of Religions; and Co-Chief Editor with Lisa Foran (UCD) of the International Journal of Philosophical Studies.
4. Teaching.
At UCD I have taught critical thinking; introduction to ethics; epistemology; metaphysics; philosophy of religion; and philosophy of time. My undergraduate module Animated Philosophy involved the creation of animated online ‘explainer’ videos by teams of students; you can see the course website here. I am currently writing a critical thinking textbook with Naomi Corlett based on my first-year course Critical Thinking.
5. Training.
I received an M.A. in Philosophy (2007) from University College Cork and a B.Phil. (2010, Exeter College) and D.Phil (2014, St. Hilda’s College) in Philosophy from the University of Oxford. My M.A. thesis supervisor was Joel Walmsley (UCC) and my BPhil thesis supervisor was John Hawthorne (USC). My D.Phil. supervisors were Cian Dorr (NYU) and John Hawthorne (USC), and my examiners were Timothy Williamson (Oxford) and Dean Zimmerman (Rutgers). Before joining UCD School of Philosophy, I worked as a Stipendiary Lecturer in Philosophy at Magdalen College, University of Oxford and as an Teaching Fellow in Philosophy at University College, Cork.
