Scholarly Awards:
Australasian Association of Philosophy's Annette Baier Prize (2019) for 'Offending White Men'.
"In 'Offending White Men' the author very skillfully and convincingly draws on recent scholarship on epistemic injustice to address an important issue in contemporary Australian politics and society, namely recent challenges to the Racial Discrimination Act by white complainants. The paper is an excellent example of engaged philosophy - philosophy that takes as its starting point a specific social problem and uses the resources of philosophical theory to analyse and respond to that problem."
