About
I am a second year PhD candidate at the London School of Economics & Political Science. My doctoral research is funded by an Arts & Humanities Research Council Block Grant Partnership Studentship. My current research is in penal philosophy and the ethic of care. My thesis will develop an argument for using the perspective of care to provide guiding principles for sentencers in state criminal punishment.
My wider research interests in political & legal theory also include rights and duties discourse, civic republicanism, citizenship and human rights. I believe good theory and philosophy requires awareness of practical politics and social science research. I am interested in the role of applied ethics in the development of public policy also passionate about the teaching of political thought. I provided class teaching for a conceptual course introducing first year students to the concept of property and live issues for property law.
