Departmental Lecturer in Political Philosophy and Public Policy, University of Oxford

I am Departmental Lecturer in Political Philosophy and Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government, Oxford. I work on topics in African and Contemporary political, moral, and legal philosophy-- in particular, on questions of freedom, injustice, democracy and authority, and deliberative democratic practice. My academic work has been published in Political Theory, the Philosophical Forum, the Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence, and the Routledge Handbook of African Political Philosophy. My essays and commentary have also appeared in Weekendavisen, the New York Times, the New Yorker Radio Hour, the Guardian, and Premium Times Newspaper, among others.
