My research interests are at the intersection between political, moral, legal and feminist philosophy. My primary focus is on the concept of equality, and I have written on why we should treat each other as equals and what it means to do so, paying particular attention to the status of those who are punished for a criminal offence. More recently, I have addressed these questions from a feminist perspective, looking at the role of our vulnerability and our nature as needy and caring beings in our thinking on equality and rights. My current research explores the role of care in a society of equals.
