Matt T. Clark

(he/him/his)

I am a philosopher and Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, from which I got my PhD in 2025.

My research focuses on the nature of trust, its social and political importance, and how we can make organisations better. I've researched the trustworthiness of organisations (especially businesses), how being trusted effects justice, and how organisations can be virtuous. I'm interested in how individuals and organisations ought to behave in liberal democracies, as well as the role philosophy plays in modern society.
