Profile

I'm broadly interested in moral, political, and legal philosophy. My primary research interest at this stage lies in questions about egalitarian justice. My thesis is provisionally titled The Elements of Equality: An Investigation and Defence of Egalitarianism. I'm supervised by Dr Gerald Lang and Dr Daniel Elstein. (In my first year of study I was also thankfully co-supervised by Dr Matthew Noah Smith before he left Leeds.)
