I'm a PhD student in political theory at the Doctoral School of Political Science, Public Policy and International Relations at CEU. My research focuses on what children, parents, and society owe each other in unjust circumstances. In particular, I investigate what parents and society may permissibly ask of children: for example, may we impose some of the costs of advancing justice on children? Dissertation chapters in progress address the ethics of raising children's political awareness, for example in the context of climate action; the ethics of child labour; and the issue of children left behind due to temporary parental labour migration.
In addition to my interest in the philosophy of childhood and justice, I am also interested in the methodology of political philosophy, especially of non-ideal theory; a variety of topics in applied and normative ethics; aesthetics; the history of political thought; and how philosophy and the social sciences can fruitfully engage with each other.
My non-dissertation work in progress includes a paper entitled "Children, Custody, and the Costs of Promoting Gender Justice", which I have presented at the Warwick Graduate Conference in Political and Legal Theory, the POLEMO Symposium at CEU, and the MANCEPT Workshop at the University of Manchester. Another paper in progress deals with the ethics of friendships and other close relationships with individuals who have serious moral flaws.
In the academic year 2025/26, I serve as the PhD student representative on the CEU Senate.
Besides my academic work, I perform and teach music; enjoy cooking and baking; and spend my remaining time in nature with my dog and my loved ones. I have lived, studied, and worked in Austria, France, the UK, and Egypt.
