Profile

I joined PAIS in 2002. Before Warwick, I worked in the Department of Philosophy and the Human Rights Centre at the University of Essex and in the Department of Government at Brunel University. I work on distributive justice, the foundations of liberal political thought, and also certain kinds of applied philosophy, such as the philosophy of upbringing and education. My publications include Justice and Legitimacy in Upbringing (Oxford University Press, 2006) and two co-edited books: The Ideal of Equality (Palgrave, 2002), and Social Justice (Blackwell, 2004).
