Lecturer in Political Philosophy and British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow
I am a Lecturer in Political Philosophy at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom. Most of my research concerns animal ethics, and I currently have particular interests in questions about food and food systems; animals in liberal and libertarian political thought; and animals and the ethics of war/violence. McGill-Queen’s University Press published my first book, Just Fodder: The Ethics of Feeding Animals, in 2022. My second book, Food, Justice, and Animals: Feeding the World Respectfully, was published by Oxford University Press in 2023. I have been the primary host the animal studies podcast Knowing Animals since 2020.
