I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Government at Dartmouth College.  My primary area of research and teaching is contemporary political philosophy, with a focus on questions of economic justice.

My research addresses the ethical dimensions of our collective economic choices. I am interested in issues of distributive and social justice, justice and work, environmental ethics, and gender and family justice.

In my first book Free Time (Princeton University Press), I argue that all citizens are entitled, as a matter of justice, to fair shares of free time. I’m currently writing a new book on justice and economic growth, provisionally titled The Ends of Growth (under advance contract with Princeton University Press).

From 2024-2028, I am serving as Associate Editor of the American Political Science Review.

Here is more about my research and my c.v.

I received my Ph.D. from Princeton University. Prior to joining Dartmouth’s Government Department, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Brown University’s Political Theory Project and a Postdoctoral Fellow with Stanford University’s Center for Ethics in Society. Since then, I have been a Fellow-in-Residence at the Edmond J. Safra Center at Harvard University and an Academic Visitor (non-stipendiary) at Nuffield College, Oxford University.

At Dartmouth, I teach courses on Ethics and Public Policy, the Ethics of the Family, Ethics, Economics, and the Environment, and Justice and Work.
