About: About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in the Ethics Institute at the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Utrecht University. My research is in political philosophy, mainly on issues related to social, environmental, and global justice, such as climate change, migration, and urban politics. I'm also an Associate Editor at Res Publica.

I grew up in York and then moved to Sheffield, where I received a BA in Philosophy and French at the University of Sheffield. During my undergraduate degree, I also spent some time teaching English in a lycée in Nord-Pas-de-Calais. I received an MA in Philosophy (Applied Ethics) from Utrecht University, and then a PhD in Politics (Political Theory) from the University of Reading. At Reading, I was a Leverhulme Doctoral Scholar in Climate Justice, and my supervisors were Rob Jubb and Patrick Tomlin. During my PhD, I spent six months as a visiting researcher at the Normative Orders Cluster of Excellence at Goethe University Frankfurt. After my PhD, I was a Teaching Fellow in Political Theory at the University of Warwick, and then I spent three years as a Postdoctoral Prize Research Fellow in Politics at Nuffield College, University of Oxford. I took up my current position at Utrecht in September 2023.
