Professional Experience
- My main research and teaching interests are in applied ethics and the philosophy of law, particularly the philosophy of criminal law. Most of my recent research focuses on the wide range of philosophical questions raised by legal punishment and its allied institutions: How and whether legal punishment can be justified, the defensible forms that it can take, the kinds of conduct that should be criminalized, and the procedures that should be used to determine legal guilt and thus susceptibility to punishment.
