I am currently Director of the Research School of the Social Sciences (RSSS) at the Australian National University, where I’ve been a member of the School of Philosophy since 2007. I work mostly in moral and political philosophy, with a focus on issues of international justice. Lately I’ve been working with on the topic of the ethics of imposing risk on others and on broader questions of environmental philosophy. My publications include books with Sanjay Reddy, International Trade and Labour Standards: A Proposal for Linkage (Columbia University Press, 2008), and Gerhard Øverland, Responding to Global Poverty: Harm, Responsibility, and Agency (Cambridge University Press, 2016), and articles in many journals in philosophy, politics, and law. I used to edit the journal Ethics & International Affairs and am currently Co-Editor of the Political Philosophy, Associate Editor at Ethics, and Associate Editor for Social and Political Philosophy for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. I’ve done two tours of duty as Head of School in Philosophy at the ANU (2016-18, 20-21) and was a Deputy Director of the Research School of the Social Sciences (2012-2014). I was elected Fellow of the Academy of the Humanities of Australia in 2019. I’m currently working on two books, one (with Kate Macdonald) on ethical consumerism, the other (with Garrett Cullity) on the ethics of net zero.
When I'm not working or spending time with my family I am often training and teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at my gym, Canberra Mixed Martial Arts @CBRMMA.
