Dr Finlay Malcolm is the postdoctoral researcher at the AHRC-funded project, Religion, Theology and Climate Change.
Finlay completed his PhD in philosophy at the University of Manchester in 2017. He was then a Research Fellow in philosophy and religion at University of Hertfordshire (2017-2022), and since February 2022, has been a Research Associate at the Policy Institute at King’s College London. His academic research interests are largely in philosophy of religion (especially trust, faith and belief), political philosophy (democracy and government), and the intersection of the two (political forms of religion, e.g. fundamentalism). He has written a book with Routledge and over a dozen academic journal articles. Whilst at KCL, Finlay has also worked on a number of social science-led projects (qualitative and quantitive research and analysis), primarily on trust in climate change scientists and on freedom of speech, from which he has produced a range of policy reports that have featured widely in national media.
