Work in Progress 
On perceptual structure:

1. A paper on the implications of perception's structural features for a right account of perceptual justification.

On perception and thought:

1. A paper devoted to defending the claim that perception can mislead us about what a property is like, and yet still permit us to form perceptual demonstrative thoughts about the property. [This is a companion piece to my 'Thinking Through Illusion' (EJP, forthcoming).]
2. A paper that diagnoses, and then undermines, the widespread tendency to presume that hallucinatory experiences put us in perceptual contact with hallucinated colours, shapes, and sizes.  

In philosophy of law:

1. A paper that outlines and motivates an approach to general jurisprudence that roughly parallels Strawson's 'descriptive metaphysics'
2. A paper co-authored with my brother, Tashi Alford-Duguid, that develops and defends a new account of how control can help determine the scope of informational privacy

Other:

1. A paper that traces a neglected aspect of linguistic presupposition's epistemic significance
