M.C. (Maeve) McKeown, PhD
Assistant Professor in Political Theory
Field/Discipline
Expertise
Who is responsible for global structural injustice? This is the question that motivates my research. Through engagement with Iris Marion Young’s “social connection model” of responsibility – the idea that individuals bear political responsibility for structural injustices they are connected to – I explore the responsibilities of individuals, as well as corporate actors. I am writing my first book on this topic, With Power Comes Responsibility: The Politics of Structural Injustice (Bloomsbury Academic, forthcoming). I also have research interests in reparations for slavery and intersectional feminism.
I am an Assistant Professor in Political Theory at Campus Fryslân, an interdisciplinary faculty at the University of Groningen. Previously, I was a Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Cambridge and Director of Studies in Philosophy at Newnham College, Cambridge; a Junior Research Fellow at St Hilda’s College, Oxford, where I founded the St Hilda’s Feminist Salon; a Post-doctoral Research Fellow at Justitia Amplificata, Goethe University Frankfurt; and a Teaching Associate in Ethics and World Politics at the University of Cambridge. I did my PhD and MA in Political Theory at UCL (University College London). My undergraduate degree was in Politics and International Relations at the University of Manchester.
