Costanza Porro

I am Lecturer in Political Philosophy at the University of Lancaster. I am also carrying out a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship which I started at MANCEPT, the Centre for Political Theory of the University of Manchester, in October 2022. Previously, I was postdoctoral fellow at the department of philosophy of the University of Hamburg. I completed a PhD in Law at King's College London in 2019. My research interests lie at the intersection of moral philosophy, political and social philosophy, feminist philosophy and the philosophy of criminal punishment. My current research explores how the fact of our nature as caring and needy beings shapes the way in which we should conceive an egalitarian society.
