In a more applied vein, I also work on war crimes and published a book on the topic in 2019 with Jessica Wolfendale (War Crimes: Causes, Excuses, and Blame [OUP]). I have published one other monograph, Moral Responsibility: An Introduction (Polity, 2016), as well as a collection (co-edited with András Szigeti) on Bernard Williams (Morality and Agency: Themes from Bernard William [OUP, 2022]).
