BOOK

My book on Debating Surrogacy, co-written with Christine Straehle, for the “Debating ethics” series at Oxford University Press came out in 2023. Pre-print of my main chapter available at philpapers.

ARTICLES and BOOK CHAPTERS

A chapter on Republican Families? in the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of Republicanism, edited by Frank Lovett and Mortimer Sellers. Amongst other things it says that the gendered division of labour can lead to mutual domination of one parent by the other.

And a chapter on Children’s Human Rights, forthcoming in the Routledge Handbook for the Philosophy of Human Rights, edited by Jesse Tomalty and Kerri Woods.

A (short) article in which I think about what it takes to avoid domination in the formation of children’s values and, more specifically, I grapple with the question of children’s religious education. A reply to John Tillson‘s book in a symposium published by the Journal of Philosophy of Education in 2024.

A paper on Feminism without ‘gender identity’, out in Politics, Philosophy and Economics, also last year. It should have been called “What does it mean to have a gender identity?”. It provides an account of misgendering, which I also explain, more head on, in a recent blog post. I build on it to argue that we can best make sense of feminism (both as an intellectual and as a political project) without relying on any understanding of “woman”, and, indeed, without direct reference to “woman”: snapshot in this post on Feminism without “woman”? at Justice Everywhere.

­­­­­­­­­­­­Political Liberalism and the Dismantling of the Gendered Division of Labor, out in the Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy Volume 9, 2023, edited by David Sobel and Steven Wall. On the tricky question of how feminist can political liberals be.

A chapter on “Let them be children”? Age limits in voting and conceptions of childhood, out in Ageing without Ageism? Conceptual Puzzles and Policy Proposals, edited by Greg Bognar and Axel Gosseries in 2023. The title is fairly self-explanatory.

A book chapter on The Role of Solitude in the Politics of Sociability. It explores how the abilities to endure, even enjoy, solitude have an important place in the ethics of sociability. In Being Social: The Philosophy of Social Human Rights, edited by Kimberley Brownlee, David Jenkins, and Adam Neal in 2022.
