Working PhD Title
Interrogating need: On the role of need in matters of justice
Research Interests
I am interested in how need can be normative, and how the fact that someone is in need might present a normative claim to another person. Further, I am interested in what kind of claims need might present, and how we might understand distinctions between duties of humanity and duties of justice. I am also interested in rationing, distributive justice, and resource allocation in health care, human well-being, bioethics, and applied ethics.
