I work on a number of topics in moral and political philosophy, including rights, blame, respect, dignity, normative powers, and relational normativity. A leading idea in my work is that we have reasons of respect to treat people in ways that recognize the existence and importance of their genuine obligations, as these obligations reflect the importance of those who possess them. My work with Liberalism Rekindled will focus on developing a conception of dignity that makes sense of these claims, and exploring how liberalism can accommodate the idea that respect for someone’s dignity involves taking their obligations seriously. Since many of our obligations arise in the context of special relationships and communal ties, this work aligns with the project’s Liberalism and Identity track.
