Biographie

I am a former occupational therapist turned philosopher, holding degrees in occupational therapy and moral and political philosophy.

I taught political philosophy, moral philosophy and applied ethics at Trinity College Dublin and University College Dublin. I’ve held several visiting fellowships at international institutions, including most recently a visiting professorship at the Department of Sociology (GSADI), Autonomous University of Barcelona and research fellowships at the Centre for the Study of Social Justice (CSSJ), Oxford University, the TCD Policy Institute and the Chaire Hoover d’éthique économique et sociale, Université Catholique de Louvain.

My main research interests are in the interaction of philosophical analysis and policy
development, with specific interest in welfare reform and employment regulation (in
particular unconditional basic income), and more recently disability politics and public health issues, notably related to suicide regulation and organ procurement policy.

I am a Founding Editor of the interdisciplinary journal « Basic Income Studies », an Officer of the Association for Legal and Social Philosophy (ALSP), a Trustee of the UK Citizens’ Income Trust (CIT) and an International Advisory Board member of the Basic
Income Earth Network, after having served for many years on its Executive Committee.
