CURRENT RESEARCH |
1.
DISADVANTAGE (With Avner de-Shalit, Political Science, Hebrew University) How
should we understand the nature of disadvantage? How can societies identify
the least advantaged? What policies should they adopt to deal with
disadvantage? The resulting book, Disadvantage, was published by Oxford
University Press, in May 2007. A transcript of an introduction to the
project, delivered at the launch of the Oxford Centre for the Study of Social
Justice is available here. 2.
CENTRE FOR PHILOSOPHY, JUSTICE AND HEALTH The
Centre for Philosophy, Justice and Health is a partnership between many UCL
departments, including Philosophy, Political Science, Laws, the Medical
School, and Epidemiology. Its main aim is to provide a UCL based focus for
research into distributive justice and health, through conferences,
workshops, papers, public engagement and teaching. 3.
PRIORITY IN PRACTICE This
is an ad hoc workshop series I co-ordinate, involving an international
and inter-disciplinary group of researchers - loosely based around the website The Equality Exchange - all of whom
are interested in how broadly egalitarian political philosophy and public
policy decision-making may interact and shed light on each other. The first
workshop took place over two days hosted by UCL_s School of Public Policy in
April 2003 and many others have followed in London. Further workshops took
place in Harvard in April 2004, May 2006, and May 2008 on Human Rights (all
organised by Mathias Risse) and in Stanford in September 2006 (organised by
Debra Satz). For 2009, one workshop is planned for Dublin in May (organized
by Jurgen De Wisplaeare) and one in Namibia in August, co-organised with Mark
Hannam. 4.
THE ETHICS OF RISK I
am Principal Investigator for an AHRC Project, running for three years, on The
Ethics of Risk. It will also look at the ethics of transport and health risk.
It commenced in October 2008. This project is a successor to work conducted
for the Railway industry on the puzzle of why it is that the railways in the
UK have generated such a poor reputation for safety when by all statistical
measures the risk of death or injury when travelling by train is very low
indeed, especially when compared to travelling by road. My initial discussion
of this issue is contained in a report called ‘Railway Safety and the Ethics of the
Tolerability of Risk_‘. This in turn has led to a research project
with Helene Joffe in UCL’s Psychology Department in which 80 members of the
public have been interviewed so that we can form of picture of public
understandings and impressions of railway safety. The report on this work has
been completed although not yet published. A
more general paper on this area, entitled ‘Risk, Fear, Blame, and Shame: The Regulation of
Public Safety‘ is published in Economics and Philosophy. A
paper on the idea of a statistical life, entitled ‘What is the value of preventing a fatility?’ is published in a
collection on Philosophy and Risk, edited by Tim Lewens (Routledge 2007). 5.
POLITICL PHILOSOPHY AND PUBLIC POLICY I
am in the process of writing a book bringing together published and
unpublished work in a number of areas of public policy, such as the
regulation of drugs, animal experimentation, gambling, and the regulation of
safety. The point of the book is not only to shed light on these areas, but also
to consider the appropriate methodology for connecting philosophy and public
policy. |
