I am a DPhil student in political theory at St Catherine’s College and the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford.

My work concerns theories of equality, policies of social welfare and regulation of the market, and the role of normative theory in policy guidance in the real world. My dissertation discusses policies of ‘predistribution’ and proposes a new methodology of Ethics and Public Policy.
