New Zealand-American legal philosopher at NYU who has written influential work on dignity, homelessness and property law, and cosmopolitanism.
Dignity, Rank, and Rights: dignity in law traces back to aristocratic rank — the project of modernity is to extend high-rank treatment to everyone. The Right to Private Property: a Lockean analysis. Liberal Rights: essays on rights, hate speech, and the rule of law. Homelessness and the issue of freedom: homelessness as a freedom problem — homeless people are constantly trespassing since they have no private space to perform basic functions.
