Hi! I’m a philosopher working in Ethics and the Philosophy of Language. I’m interested in the nature and structure of normativity, and the meanings of our central pieces of normative vocabulary (‘ought’, ‘reason’, ‘good’). You can learn about my research here.

I’m currently a Senior Research Associate in Metaethics / Value Theory at the University of Bristol, on Project EVIL. Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Bielefeld University in the Structure of Normativity group. I graduated from MIT with a PhD in Philosophy in 2023.

My CV is available here. My PhilPeople profile is here. You can reach me at eliot.watkins@bristol.ac.uk.
