Postgraduate research students

• My research lies in political philosophy, with particular interests in freedom, autonomy, human rights, global justice, and epistemic injustice.
• My doctoral project develops a new theory of human rights built on a distinction between rights of being (core rights) and rights of becoming (flourishing rights).
• Alongside this, I work on the nature and ethics of achievement.
