AN ESSAY ON NO PLATFORMING is a piece of political philosophy focussing on the special knowledge-producing responsibility that Universities have in democratic society, and how that gives Universities (note not the public or students) not just a reason to but an obligation to no platform, or cancel, speakers under a certain set of conditions. As you might be able to imagine though, we encounter some complicated problem and murky waters pretty quickly.
I would love to hear people's thoughts on the essay and the areas for further research that I mention in my conclusion.
I couldn't post it without saying a huge thank you to my supervisior Dr. Sarah Fine at Corpus Christi College Cambridge.
I like it. The philosophy faculty at the University of Cambridge like it, they gave it a first class with distinction - sorry, but I had to pop that in somewhere...
​
Most importantly, however, I hope you like it.
​
WHO SHOULD PAY FOR THE CLIMATE CRISIS was another piece of political philosophy that I submitted at University. It answers the question by looking at two different types of injustice that can be seen as 'paying' for the climate crisis, concluding that those who have the ability to pay for the crisis should pay, and suggests the best route to ensure that they are paid back.

Thanks are owed to Dr. Sarah Fine for her supervision on the Essay.

WHERE WE SHOULD SAY STOP: THE LIMIT OF MARKETS takes a look at the moral extremes of capitalism and provides a revised account of Satz which takes into account both the circumstances before and after transactions on the market.
