I am Pascal, a DPhil Candidate in Politics at the University of Oxford where I am pursuing research in Political and Moral Philosophy.
I am currently the David N Lyon Scholar in Politics at Oriel College where I am working on my thesis The Ethos of Equality of Opportunity. The thesis aims to illuminate an ethos which both individuals and institutions should strive to adopt if equality of opportunity is to be promoted in practice and bridges the normative gap between interpersonal and political morality, considering in some cases coercively enforceable laws which a commitment to equal opportunity supports and moral norms we ought to adopt in others.
Prior to joining Oxford, I completed a MSc in Philosophy and Public Policy at the London School of Economics and a MA in Philosophy at Birkbeck College. In addition to my interests in Distributive Justice and Egalitarianism, my work also intersects with topics in Normative and Applied Ethics, as well as Public Reason and Social Epistemology. I currently hold a lectureship in Politics at The Queen’s College in conjunction with a departmental GTA position where I teach the Theory of Politics paper.
