I am interested in political and legal philosophy. I am interested in Rawls' theory of justice and the problem of how fair rules of social cooperation are possible under conditions of pluralism. I also have an interest in certain problems in international law and ethics. I have read papers at the International Law and Ethics Conference Series on trials for war crimes, ethnic reconciliation, secession, and humanitarian intervention.
