Current research
My primary areas of research include equality, prioritarianism, multiculturalism, migration, secularism, social cohesion, population ethics, global justice, normative ethics and personal identity.
I am currently working on two issues, theories of justice (egalitarianism and prioritarianism in particular) and migration.
As regards the latter, I am PI in a research project titled The Politics of Social Cohesion, for which I have received a Sapere Aude Top-researcher grant from the Indepedent Research Fund Denmark.
And I am working on a book provisionally titled The Politics of Social Cohesion. Immigration, Community and Justice, under contract with Oxford University Press.
Teaching and supervision
I teach and supervise in political philosophy, normative ethics, applied ethics, metaethics, migration and personal identity.
Impact
At the Faculty of Humanities my research is used as an example of the impact the humanities researchers have on society.
