I am a DPhil Candidate in Politics interested in political economy, business power, and judicial politics. My thesis research analyses relationships between North American advanced-democratic states and international courts, and the impact of those relationships on economic and climate industrial policy. I also pursue secondary research interests in labour and authoritarian politics.  

I am a DPhil student in political theory in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford. My doctoral research focuses on the nature of our interest in living a rich interpersonal life and state obligations to support this interest. I am jointly supervised by Dr. Daniel Butt and Professor David Miller.

My broader research interests include:
