I am the Director of Undergraduate Studies for Politics and International Relations in the department of Social and Political Sciences, Philosophy, and Anthropology. 

 

I have a PhD in Political Philosophy, supervised by Professor Robert Lamb, Professor Andrew Schaap, and Dr Sarah Drews Lucas, examined by Professor Clare Chambers (Cambridge) and Professor Catriona McKinnon (Exeter), awarded in 2021. I have published in Clinical Ethics, Philosophy and Social Criticism, Nature's International Journal of Impotence Research: Your Sexual Medicine Journal, and Res Publica. My doctoral dissertation defended the idea that all children have a right to genital integrity, whatever their cultural background, sex trait category, or age. I examined moral and legal inconsistency in the real-world treatment of child genital cutting practices and argued that all children have an interest in having their external conditions for exercising and developing sexual autonomy protected: http://hdl.handle.net/10871/125329.

 

I have two young children who help to keep me grounded, resilient, and determined, they also make sure I go to the beach at least once a week.
