My research specialization is in political philosophy, with a particular emphasis on questions at the intersection of politics, philosophy and economics. I am especially interested in questions about justice and equality and what these values demand in the domains of work and the economy. My broader interests span applied ethics (esp. bioethics and procreative ethics) and epistemology (esp. disagreement).
