Joshua Forstenzer

Joshua's doctoral research seeks to bring John Dewey's conceptions of democracy and citizenship to bear on contemporary debates relating to method in political philosophy; specifically, he aims to argue that Dewey provides an account of democratic political processes which can prove to be useful for political philosophers seeking to engage with political practice. More generally though, he is interested in political philosophy, the history of political thought, American Pragmatism, ethics and social philosophy. Joshua also has interests in continental philosophy, the philosophy of social science and the philosophy of education.

Richard Healey

My Interests are in political and moral philosophy.  Specifically, I am interested in the way in which individuals alter the normative situation by employing the power of consent.  We generally assume that individuals do possess the power, and this idea often does a lote of heavy lifting in political and moral philosophy.  In my thesis I consider what the limits of the power of consent might be.
