Societies face complex challenges

Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) is coming of age as a distinct area of research of high social relevance. Modern societies face complex challenges, including those associated with immigration, inequality, trade, discrimination, disease, environmental degradation, pluralism, and technological change. PPE can foster a more robust interdisciplinary approach to these challenges.

The new Oxford University Press book series on Philosophy, Politics and Economics provides a home for PPE research ranging from fundamental theoretical issues to pressing questions of public policy. Across the board, the series aims to publish work that integrates philosophy, political science, and economics (and, indeed, all the social sciences) to tackle or solve important theoretical and policy questions. We are self-consciously ecumenical about the scope and focus of work in the series: PPE can and should range broadly and we are excited to explore its frontiers.

Current Research

My research interests are primarily centered on the social organization of political, cultural, and scientific communities. In particular, I am interested in how these communities can and should respond to diversity. This focus on diversity is manifested most prominently in my three major projects: the first remakes social contract theory for very diverse societies, the second offers a normative-descriptive framework for analyzing the division of cognitive labor in science, and the third examines the emergence and persistence of social norms.
