ABOUT
I work on topics in moral and political philosophy, in particular, justice, blame, and desert. I completed my PhD at the University of Reading under the supervision of Brad Hooker and Philip Stratton-Lake. I received my MRes in Philosophy from University of Reading, MA in Teaching from Tufts University and BA from New York University (NYU). Prior to coming to the UK, I was for several years a high school English literature teacher at private secondary schools in Guangzhou and Shanghai.
