Research
My research focuses on normative and conceptual issues related to global justice and human rights. I have written articles and chapters on topics including socio-economic human rights, global poverty, the ethics of immigration, and labour rights. I am currently co-editing the Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Human Rights along with Kerri Woods (Leeds).
