    Research overview

    My current research covers two areas.  First, the idea of justice in the Anthropocene.  This work critiques current dominant modes of justice, such as those derived from Rawls, intersectionality, and phenomenology.  In particular, I am concerned to show how the notion of 'desert' perpetuates a division between 'human' on the one hand, and the 'non-' and 'sub-human' on the other.  The relevance of this critique is to show how dominant modes of justice inevitably shade into injustice and, more importantly, to advance a new concept of justice which avoids doing so.

    Second, I am interested in law and technology.  I start from the position that law has always been a variety of technology, and that this became particularly apparent during modernity.  My focus is on what happens to law - and our ideas about what law is and can do - once we shift from the dominance of visible, energetic, and machinic technologies to the dominance of invisible, informatic, and electronic ones.
