Research interests
Gender; sex segregation; political and social theories of equality; structural injustice and rights in modern economies.
My research, both empirical and theoretical, focuses primarily on issues of gender inequality, structural injustice and rights. Recent work has scrutinized critically the explanatory power and prescriptive claims of prominent accounts of gender inequality in several different disciplines. These range from various quantitative metrics of gender inequality as well as sociological, psychological and economic causal theories from the social sciences, through to bio-physiological accounts of gender difference in the natural sciences, through to the more abstract accounts of political philosophy. In relation to these accounts of inequality, I analyse potential mechanisms available for the enforcement of social rights in both national and international settings.
