My central project is a book entitled Renting: Justice and Limited Sovereignty, which explores the normative reasons liberal egalitarian states have to promote and support renting as a means of accessing goods.  

My other research interests include questions of housing justice, questions of how the state should support our associative freedom and, in particular, our freedom to disassociate from others, and questions to do with state support for personal relationships, particularly, friendship. Finally, I am interested in exploring the possibility of developing a plausible “positive” account of power.
