29Is child disenfranchisement justified?Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy 26 (5): 635-657. 2023.Children are among the few social groups that are systematically and universally disenfranchised.

11Revisting the Common Ownership of the Earth: A Democratic Critique of Global Distrubive Justice TheoriesGlobal Justice: Theory Practice Rhetoric 9 (2). 2016.Many theories of global distributive justice are based on the assumption that all humans hold common ownership of the earth.

We present a critique of the assump…Read more

8Philosophy and the Poverty of Children and their FamiliesIn Nicolás Brando & Gottfried Schweiger (eds.), Philosophy and Child Poverty: Reflections on the Ethics and Politics of Poor Children and Their Families, Springer. pp. 1-15. 2019.Although the philosophical literature on both poverty and childhood is certainly increasing, the status of children living in poverty has been largely ignored as a philosophical subject.

We highlight four challenges raised by studying child poverty, and the mechanisms through which philosophical analysis may aid …Read more
