I am Sam. This is my website.
I am the Innovation Policy Lead at Progress Ireland, an independent think tank in Dublin.
I am also the editor-in-chief of The Fitzwilliam, an online publication about Ireland, politics, philosophy and literature.
I was an an instructor (2025) at the Asian Spring Program on Rationality, and an instructor (2023) and junior counsellor (2022) at the European Summer Program on Rationality. Some classes I’ve taught include Introduction to Causal Inference and Puzzles of Anthropic Reasoning.
I sporadically write blog posts on samenright.substack.com.
I hold an MA in Economics and Philosophy from the University of Edinburgh, where I graduated with First Class Honours and won the Simon Gray Prize. My dissertation, Infinite Ethics and the Social Discount Rate, was supervised by Wolfgang Schwarz.
My essays have appeared in The Dublin Review of Books, Astronomy Ireland, and various other outlets.
I hold two Emergent Ventures grants from the Mercatus Center, and my work has been supported by Longview Philanthropy. This year I am a writing fellow for the Roots of Progress Institute.
In my free time, I like to go to quizzes, and I’m a former North Britain Novice QuizBowl champion.
Some communities I am a part of that remain close to my heart are Patch and Interact.
