Research Overview

My research focuses on what is ordinarily called distributive justice, which I think of as the intersection between political philosophy, philosophy of law, and—given my own interests—bioethics. I am currently working on a book-length project that explores the tension between global justice and sovereignty, and aims to argue that what I call the 'market perspective' of justice (i.e., the view that essential goods are informed by the global market) requires us to understand the moral limits of international cooperation with respect to how soverign states can each autonomously realize the aims of justice. I call this view moderate statism. I also do some work on relational justice, and epistemic justice (as well as the occasional paper in metaethics with political flavour).
