Current Research

My research interests cover a range of topics in contemporary political theory, global justice, and environmental ethics & policy. In particular, I am currently engaged on research on the issues of equity & social justice raised by global climate change and our response to it. I welcome PhD proposals and research collaboration in the following areas.

Ethics and politics of climate change

• Loss and Damage
• Justice in mitigation and adaptation
• Distributing the unexpected costs of climate policy
• Commodifying the atmosphere

Corrective and Distributive Justice

• Benefiting from injustice
• Wrongful harm, unlucky harm
• Currencies of distributive justice (welfare, resources, capabilities...)
• The pattern of distributive justice (equality, priority, sufficiency...)

Intergenerational and Environmental Justice

• The ethics of resource depletion
• Rights of unborn and future generations
• The non-identity problem
• Reciprocity between generations
