I'm a PhD candidate in philosophy at both Rutgers and Stockholm University under a cotutelle agreement.
I'm presently engaged in two research projects in normative ethics and political philosophy. The first is about why it's fair that we sometimes bear costs for the sake of others. The running theme of this work is that we should place a greater emphasis on principles of fair cooperation and less emphasis on moral responsibility. In my dissertation, Death and Taxes: Bearing Costs in an Unfair World, I discuss this theme in application to the ethics of self-defense, punishment, wealth redistribution, and medical triage. I have plans to extend this project to thinking about the fair acquisition of advantages in cases of private property, careers, education, and so on. My second major research project is on the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics of Big Data. In particular, I'm interested in what kinds of socio-economic institutions are morally appropriate in the age of big data. I'm currently preparing a pair of essays about whether companies like Amazon, Facebook, and Google have a moral right to exclude others from using the aggregate data they collect and if not, what this might imply about U.S. Representative David Cicilline's proposal of a Glass-Steagall Act for Big Data. I have plans to extend this project to further questions about property rights, productive justice, and democratic theory. |
