Current Research and Scholarly Interests

Most of my work is in ethics, and spans topics in moral and political philosophy as well as the philosophy of law. I am especially interested in the ethics of rescue and other-defence, the thrills and challenges of non-consequentialist ethics, theories of justice, and – increasingly inescapably – how debates about AI might throw new light on longstanding questions about rights, reasons, and agency. Much of my works falls in areas where these fields overlap.
