As a Catholic social ethicist, my research is most often interdisciplinary, exploring intersections among theology, development theory, economics, and political philosophy. My main interest is in fostering mutually critical engagement between the Capabilities Approach and Catholic social teaching on the idea of integral human development and ecology. Other interests include the frontiers of rights discourse, virtue ethics, and the theology of Bernard Lonergan.
