Welcome to the Interacting Minds Podcast. 

We are an Aarhus University based podcast focusing on making interdisciplinary science more accessible and approachable for the wider audience. 

Our guest for this episode is Andrew James Latham and we focus on his research about indirect compatibilism and free will.

Andrew James Latham is currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Aarhus University in the Department of Philosophy and History of Ideas. He works mainly on topics at the intersection between metaphysics, cognitive science, and ethics. His most recent work has appeared in, among other places, Noûs, The Journal of Philosophy, and Philosophy and Phenomenological Research. He is the author of Indirect Freedom (Routledge, 2025), which advances a new kind of compatibilist account of free will. In addition to a PhD in Philosophy, he has a research background in experimental psychology and cognitive neuroscience.
