Biography
I joined Aberdeen as a Lecturer in Philosophy in 2023. I work on issues of political philosophy and global justice, particularly the political philosophy of migration. My published work thus far has focused on refugee rights, including rights to family reunion and the scope of the right to refuge in international law. More recently I have been working on some larger projects exploring the relationship between the methodology of political philosophy and debates in the political philosophy of migration.
Before coming to Aberdeen I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Perry World House (2022-2023), a Fellow in the department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics and Political Science (2021-2022), and a Lecturer in Political Economy Education at King's College London (2020-2021). I completed my PhD in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania under the supervision of Kok-Chor Tan in 2020.
