Associate Professor
Areas of interest
Social and political philosophy, bioethics, and applied ethics
Current Research
I work in political philosophy and bioethics focusing on egalitarianism, disability, capabilities, and justice. A further project concerns philosophical methodology, drawing on and developing ideas from Rawls. I am available to supervise students across all of these areas.
