Expertise

Ethics, Feminist Theory

Research Interests

Ethics; Feminist Theory; Oppression Studies.

I work primarily in normative ethics and analytic feminism, concentrating largely on the moral obligations that arise in oppressive social conditions. My other interests include liberal social and political philosophy, feminism in the liberal political tradition, oppression studies, and Kantian ethics.
