I am an associate professor in the Philosophy Department at Binghamton University, and direct the program in Philosophy, Politics, and Law. I also edit the Legal Reasoning and Adjudication section at PhilPapers. I work primarily on topics in philosophy of law, political philosophy, and normative ethics. I have broad interests in each, but below are some areas of research focus.

Philosophy of Law:

• Nature and grounds of authority
• Legal reasoning, especially as it concerns non-ideal legal systems
• International law, especially international criminal law
• Tort theory

Political Philosophy:

• Human rights
• Distributive justice
• Public justification

Normative Ethics:

• Contractualism
• Ethics of risk
• Responsibility allocation

Overall, I am still just trying to figure out what, in general, is the difference between right and wrong, justified and not. It is tricky to say.
