I work in political philosophy, ethical theory, and their intersection. My main research program investigates the normative landscape of the political, its relationship to morality, and the implications this has for projects in global justice.

I have particular interests in issues around migration and global distributive justice.

Here’s a video of me talking with some really excellent thinkers about open borders and immigration.

“Crisis Nationalism: To What Degree Is National Partiality Justifiable during a Global Pandemic?” in Ethical Theory and Moral Practice (2021) w/ Eilidh Beaton, Dylan Manson, and Kok-Chor Tan [link] [interview with Omnia]
