I am a moral and political philosopher with expertise in contemporary political philosophy, applied ethics, normative ethics, and analytic feminist philosophy. My recent research focuses on what we owe to other animals. I have published papers on the place of nonhuman animals in our theorising about global justice, and on what we owe to them as a matter of climate justice. I have also defended the following claims (among others): that sentient nonhuman animals have a right to privacy, that few nonhuman animals are political agents, that sentient nonhuman animals have a right to self-determination, that non-euthanasia killing in animals shelters is sometimes morally permitted, and that we shouldn't support zoos. My latest projects focus on the normative significance of nonhuman animal agency; in other words, what other animals do and why it matters morally, socially, and politically. I am especially interested in whether domestication is compatible with animals' interests in self-determination and the demands of justice.
