I am a Senior Lecturer in Political Theory at MANCEPT, University of Manchester. I am interested in all areas of contemporary normative political theory, with special interests in the following areas:
- theories of social/distributive justice and equality. 
- liberalism and republicanism
- global justice
- political theory of the welfare state, property-owning democracy, and liberal/democratic socialism
- self-respect and other self-evaluative attitudes.
