Research

I apply the works of philosophers such as Hegel, Kant, Locke, and Mill to topics of current relevance, such as privacy, punishment, property rights, and the right to bear arms. My books include: Punishment: Theory and Practice (University of California), Hegel's Political Philosophy (Princeton), Practices and Principles: Approaches to Ethical and Legal Judgment (Princeton), Balancing Privacy and Free Speech: Unwanted Attention in the Age of Social Media (Routledge), and Texting, Suicide and the Law: The Case Against Punishing Michelle Carter (Routledge Focus Series). I have a forthcoming book, Punishing Parents for their Children’s Crimes: The Case of Ethan Crumbley. Other areas of my current research include AI Ethics,  academic freedom, and parental rights vs state authority in deciding how we should educate our children.
