I work in political philosophy, ethical theory, and their intersection. My main research program investigates the normative landscape of the political, the limits of morality, and their implications for global justice.

I have particular interests in issues around migration, egalitarianism, and internationalism.

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