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".
