Profile

I joined PAIS in 2025 as Teaching Fellow in Political Theory. Prior to that, I was Visiting Faculty at Central European University, where I also completed my PhD.

Research:

My research lies at the intersection of war and peace, childhood, and justice from a philosophical, normative perspective. My work mainly concerns questions of justice for children who experienced war, children’s roles and responsibilities in the ethics of peace and war, and a fair distribution of the burdens of war, peace, and justice in society. These interests further inspired a critical side-exploration of justifications of punishment.

Teaching:

In AY 2026/27, I am teaching seminars in: PO2E2 Topics in Political Theory and PO2E3 Foundations of Political Theory.

Dissertation Supervision: I am available to supervise dissertations in political, moral, and legal theory, ethics, just war theory, philosophy of childhood, theories of punishment. My methodological approach is normative within analytical philosophy, but I am happy to supervise mixed methods works, particularly if they focus on issues of: socio-political justice, distributive justice, transitional justice, peace&conflict, education, child-rearing, children rights, international humanitarian law, international criminal justice.
