Speaker information

Sarah Fine , Kings College London. Dr Fine’s research lies in the fields of contemporary political philosophy, ethics, and the history of modern political and social philosophy. She specialises in issues relating to migration and citizenship, with interests in a wide range of areas, including democratic theory, nationalism and patriotism, sovereignty, territory, multiculturalism and the politics of recognition, theories of justice, the ethics of political violence, race and ethnicity, and feminism and gender. Dr Fine is the co-editor (with Lea Ypi) of Migration in Political Theory: The Ethics of Movement and Membership(Oxford University Press, 2016), in which she has a chapter on the history and politics of racial and ethnic discrimination in immigration policy. Her monograph, Immigration and the Right to Exclude, is forthcoming with Oxford University Press.
