I am an Assistant Professor in Law at the University of Warwick. I was previously the Hatton-WYNG Junior Research Fellow at Hughes Hall, University of Cambridge, where I also did my PhD. My research lies at the interface of law and philosophy.

I specialise in the philosophy of care. I work along two tracks: as a philosopher of care, I seek to clarify the concept of care itself and some of the foundational tenets of feminist care ethics (my primary theoretical entry point into care); and as a legal scholar, I bring these philosophical insights to bear on doctrinal areas where the concept carries particular legal significance. I work in the law of torts and medical law, with a focus on the site where they intersect: medical negligence. More broadly, I write in general jurisprudence — on what I call the 'legal' concept of care, on problems in law and language, and on political obligation.

I build on some of these ideas in my first monograph, Care and the Mandate of Medical Law. The book is forthcoming with Oxford University Press as part of the Oxford Legal Philosophy series​.
