BIO

I'm interested in how our societies are run, and in the position of the disadvantaged within society. My focus has been on young people and democracy - specifically why the young are systematically excluded. I have argued extensively that this exclusion constitutes an injustice inflicted on them. I also work on virtual worlds - asking what kinds of places these are, whether and how they differ from the physical world, and how we should treat our actions within them.
