About
I am currently studying for a PhD in the department of Philosophy at the University of Kent. My research is focused on theories of social justice. In particular, I am interested in the theories of ideology in Marxism and post-Marxism, and the consequences for a theory of justice, as well as wider thinking about the nature and justification of justice.
