Progress studies for Ireland

As an undergraduate, I studied economics and philosophy, which I just graduated from. While I was a student, I spent a lot of my time blogging about assorted topics in economics, history, and philosophy on The Fitzwilliam and on my personal blog (https://samenright.substack.com/). Now, I lead innovation policy at Progress Ireland, a think tank in Dublin.

Attempting recursive self-improver?

Outside of my main job, I find great meaning in teaching at spring and summer camps for mathematically gifted teenagers, most recently on https://www.aspr.camp/. At least once a month, I run some kind of reading group: so far we’ve covered classic science papers, economics blogs, and some Shakespeare. To relax, I listen to a lot of jazz (Keith Jarrett, Miles Davis, Lee Morgan…), and watch and review movies on my blog.
