Research focus

I am a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow at the Chair for International Political Theory and Philosophy (Normative Orders), Goethe University Frankfurt. My research in normative theory mainly focuses on relational inequalities, poverty and oppression. Currently, my work interests include applied philosophy (particularly, public policy and participatory local governance), and contemporary political philosophy (particularly, contributions on segregation and gentrification).
