Biography
Biography
I am a Teaching Fellow in Political Theory at Durham University. Before joining Durham, I held teaching posts at UCL and King's College London. I completed my Doctoral studies at the University of Warwick and Harvard University.
Research
My research is broadly in the area of moral and political philosophy. My research interests are primarily in (i) the philosophy of labour markets, (ii) the philosophy of childhood and education, and (iii) theories of flourishing. Currently, I am developing a project on what our educational and political institutions owe to adolescents in light of their interest in flourishing in a world where participation in the labour market is a necessity. I am writing on the impact of algorithmic management on worker's ability to flourish at work.
