Sustainability Related Research Interests: Ethics, animals, relationships

Sustainability Related Research & Publications: 

Animal Ethics
Published several papers on animal ethics in top journals such as Philosophical Studies and is currently writing a co-authored book on animal ethics under contract with Oxford University Press.
The book project is about the moral significance of human relationships with animals. This work touches on key sustainability-related subjects. The book argues that we have many more relationships with animals than most of us realize and that these relationships give rise to serious moral obligations, including obligations to oppose one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases and other forms of pollution: factory farming.

Relationships and social ontology
The first part of the book project mentioned above develops a general theory of the moral significance of relationships. This theory has implications with regard to many sustainability-related issues beyond animal ethics. For instance, in environmental ethics, there are questions about our obligations to distant future generations, and these questions are complicated by what is known as the “non-identity problem.” Our theory of the moral significance of relationships has implications regarding this problem.

Political ethics, activism, and collective action problems
Published in these areas. These areas are clearly of major significance with regard to sustainability and environmental ethics. A major question in political ethics, for example, is about whether individual citizens have any obligations to address large-scale, seemingly intractable political problems, and if so, what the content and rational basis of such obligations might be.
