Biography
I work on topics in social and political philosophy. My work engages with fundamental normative questions about what justice requires, and with questions about the role that social and political institutions, including the law, play in shaping our rights. One strand of my work interrogates the role that conceptions of ownership play in political theorising, especially in the liberal and libertarian traditions. I also address questions about the scope of ownership rights, including whether or not the rights we have with respect to ourselves and our bodies should be understood as rights of self-ownership. Much of my work tries to make sense of the connections between the rights we have with respect to ourselves, our things, our intellectual and creative output, and our personal data. On the topic of bodily rights, my work engages with debates in feminist philosophy around consent, objectification, commodification, and the commercialisation of bodily services. I teach various topics in social and political philosophy and feminist philosophy.
Before joining the Department of Philosophy at the University of York, I held research fellowships at the Centre de recherche en éthique in Montreal, and the Center For Ethics in Society at Stanford University.
