Organizational Activity:
I was recently co-director, with Adam

This group is concerned with theoretical
and methodological issues in the economic valuation of
public sector spending through the use
of the contingent valuation method and cost-benefit analysis
generally. See here
for further details.
I have also
organized, with Annabelle Lever, a conference on
“Privacy, Equality
and Security” (Information available here.)
I am also presently
organizing, with Martin O’Neill of the University of Manchester,
a second conference
on the theme of Political Philosophy and Taxation.
Teaching:
Information pertaining
to “Economic Analysis for Political Philosophers”, a graduate seminar that I
have taught with Jo
Wolff in the UCL Department of Philosophy, is available here.
