Personal Statement
Before joining Liverpool (in February 2025), I taught at the Universities of Manchester, Keele and Vienna. I am Director of the Liverpool-Oxford-St Andrews Kantian Research Centre, a Distinguished Research Fellow at the Uehiro Oxford Institute, Oxford University, and Chair of the Steering Committee of the European Consortium for Political Research’s Kantian Standing Group.

Research Overview
I have a broad range of research interests, which include history-informed philosophy, analytic moral and political philosophy and philosophical counselling. I am particularly interested in Kantian and post-Kantian philosophy (metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion, aesthetics and moral philosophy), distributive justice (egalitarianism and desertism), restorative justice, and philosophical grounds of philosophical counselling, especially interpersonal relations, as well as ethics and universality.

One of my more significant recent projects (Kantian Justice: A Desert-sensitive Responsibility-enhancing Theory - KantianDESERT) is designed to formulate a new model of distributive justice, in response to growing economic disparities globally, by offering a distinctive position within dominant egalitarianisms in current political philosophy. Through several original contributions, the project builds an innovative case for a theory sensitive to individual just deserts. KantianDESERT is a 5-year Advanced Research Project selected by the European Research Council and funded by the UK Research and Innovation. The project's official starting date is 1 May 2025.
