I obtained my PhD in Philosophy and Moral Sciences in 2014 from Vrije Universiteit Brussels (Belgium). My dissertation examined the challenges climate change and other problems of environmental sustainability pose to our conceptions of individual freedom (the capabilities approach in particular) and responsibility (more specifically, common-sense morality).

I am an Associate Professor of Global Ethics in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Birmingham (UK). I am currently also the Head of Education of the School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion. 

I teach on modules in global ethics, environmental ethics and bioethics. I am happy to supervise students working on political philosophy, global (bio)ethics, climate change, environmental sustainability and intersubjective ethics. Currently, I am supervising PhD students working on the analogy between climate change and the abolition of slavery, environmental ethics, abortion, and intergenerational justice from the perspective of indigenous people.
While I still consider my current research to be on the topics mentioned in this video, my focus has changed slightly to more specific questions of the role of different agents in collective action problems (of which issues of justice and global environmental problems are paradigmatic examples).
