So thrilled that @KOosterum will be joining us this Fall as an Early Career Fellow!

[Kyle van Oosterum @KOosterum]

Some great news this month!
1) Officially finished my philosophy PhD, examined by Elizabeth Anderson and Paul Billingham.
2) Starting a new job at King's College London in September as an Early Career Fellow at the YTL Centre in the Dickson Poon Law School.

[John Tasioulas @JTasioulas]

Two of my brilliant doctoral students passed their vivas without corrections this term. @KOosterum (political philosophy of echo chambers) and Konrad Ksiazek (theory of adjudication for the ECtHR). It has been a great pleasure working with both and they’ve already published excellent work. Keep an eye out for them, they will make waves.
