Interests
My primary research interests include theories of distributive justice, normative foundations of rights, the role of exploitation on freedom, global equality, feminism and (deliberative) democracy. I am also interested in studies of social psychology and social behavior, especially work that is situated at the cross-roads of preference formation studies and political philosophy and political theory.
Dissertation
My dissertation focuses on normative justifications for the right to opt out of work. I provide justice and freedom -based accounts of an ideal of society that takes this right seriously. In this vein, I also concentrate on the study of stake-holding political theory (i.e., debates around a basic income and further policy proposals that can instantiate my theoretical propositions). The dissertation also touches on issues of preference formation as a social process and the value attached to work as employment. The title of my doctoral thesis is "A Case For The Right to Opt out of Work".
