I came to ANU in August 2008 after completing a Masters in Law at Monash University and, before that, a MA at Western Michigan University. I started out my philosophical life doing metaphysics (with an honours thesis in time travel, causation and personal identity issues) but in the last few years I have been interested in what I take to be the intersection of my interests in philosophy and the law.

I am primarily concerned with theories of political obligation, disenfranchisement and the relationship between the receipt of benefits and the generation of obligations. My primary supervisor is Prof. Bob Goodin. My other supervisors are Christian Barry and Keith Dowding. I also currently chair the Social and Political Theory seminar series.

In my spare time I can be found playing video games, making baked goods and trying to solve a variety of voting paradoxes.
