| About me | |||
I lecture in moral and political philosophy. I joined the Department a year after completing my PhD at the University of Cambridge. For most of the intervening time I lectured in the Philosophy department at the University of Auckland. |

| Research | |||
| My main research interests lie in moral and political philosophy. I am currently working on two broad topics: considerations of intelligibility in the exchange of moral reasons; and how a notion of vulnerability can underwrite a plausible account of social justice. The overall aim is to bring these two lines of enquiry together to produce an account of social justice that is well supported by a plausible account of practical reasoning.
Less actively, I am also working on questions on the importance of virtue in an account of social justice, and various issues raised by modern manifestations of the Aristotelian and republican traditions of political thought. I also write on the nature of Maori political argument in my homeland of Aotearoa New Zealand. A link to publications will appear here shortly, as more of the above actually appears in print. |
