Research

My research focuses on the following areas:

• Theories of social/distributive justice and equality
• Liberalism and republicanism
• The intersection of political theory and political economy
• Theories of social class
• Self-respect and other self-evaluative attitudes
• International and global justice, including EU justice

I am interested in supervising doctoral research in all areas of contemporary normative political theory, and in specific areas in the history of political thought: the history of liberalism, republicanism, and social democracy. 

My current work focuses on:

• Recognition theory: different forms of recognition for social contribution, and their importance for an idea of economic citizenship (with a special focus on the recognitional dimension of wage policies);
• Different theories of social class and their implications for justice, equality, and individual autonomy.
  

In 2021-22, I was an ISRF Political Economy Fellow.

Justice and Egalitarian Relations develops a liberal conception of relational equality, which understands equal non-domination and prevention of inegalitarian norms of social status as stringent demands of social justice, and explores its implications for political equality, distributive justice, and health and healthcare.
