I am an Associate Professor at West Virginia University, in the John Chambers College of Business and Economics.

I am affiliated with the Kendrick Center for an Ethical Economy, and teach on the minor in Business Ethics and Prosperity.

Prior to joining WVU I was Senior Lecturer in Political Philosophy at King's College London, in the Department of Political Economy, where I was the PPE Programme Director for four years. Prior to that I was a Fellow at the NYU School of Law.

My work engages with the philosophical analysis of political and economic relationships, particularly property rights and state authority. I'm also interested in their connection to urban development and environmental governance. I have published articles in journals such as Philosophy & Public Affairs, The Journal of Politics, Economics & Philosophy, Law & Philosophy, and Environmental Politics, as well as the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. My book, Property and Justice: A Liberal Theory of Natural Rights was published with Routledge in 2021.
