Originally from Newcastle, NSW, Mark Spencer currently resides in London in the United Kingdom, where he works as a chartered civil engineer and runs his own business as a consultant construction planner. With an abiding passion for philosophy, Mark completed undergraduate philosophy studies at Macquarie University and his Master of Research (Philosophy) at Birkbeck, University of London. He also holds engineering and surveying degrees from the University of Newcastle. With his Ramsay Postgraduate Scholarship, Mark will pursue a PhD in Philosophy at University College London where he will explore the nature of moral responsibility, particularly notions of just deserts. Mark aims to help clarify this key concept and explore the warrant for its application to the multitude of consequential areas of life and society it affects. In the future Mark aims to become an academic philosopher, continuing his research on moral responsibility, as well as addressing other fascinating and important questions across metaethics, philosophy of mind and metaphysics.
