Her research focuses on the moral dimensions of those disruptions to political communities that arise from civil conflict, repression, war, and natural disasters. She is the author of A Moral Theory of Political Reconciliation (Cambridge University Press, 2010) and has published articles on topics pertaining to political philosophy, philosophy of law, and the philosophy of risk in journals including Law and Philosophy, Risk Analysis, and Science and Engineering Ethics. While at Princeton she will be working on a book, Confronting Wrongdoing: the Conceptual Foundations of Transitional Justice, which will develop a theory of transitional justice that both explains why transitional justice is a distinctive kind of justice and articulates its basic demands.
