​My research combines Kant scholarship with the analytic tradition in philosophy. I am very passionate about understanding the structure of rights and duties and providing a rigorous foundation for them. I also believe that philosophy can make a significant contribution to society and help us understand and address the political and social challenges of our time. 
​
In my research, I offer a Kantian approach to topics such as... 
welfare rights 
world poverty 
global governance
global rule of law 
territorial rights 
property rights
moral demandingness
the relationship between prudence and morality
