Assistant Professor in Political Theory
Field/Discipline
Expertise
Who is responsible for global structural injustice? This is the question I answer in my first monograph
With Power Comes Responsibility: The Politics of Structural Injustice
(Bloomsbury Academic 2024). I have also co-edited the collection
What is Structural Injustice?
(Oxford University Press 2024) and I have a forthcoming co-edited volume Structural Injustice in Philosophy (Bloomsbury Academic 2026). I also have research interests in historical injustice, 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.
