Welcome!
This
home page is a work in progress.
Its primary purpose is to share information about my
primary interests:
(1) exploring the moral obligations of the affluent, and
(2) facilitating greater and better public deliberation around
the moral obligations of the affluent
Motivation
For a number of years, I, along with a growing number of others,
have been astounded by the relative dearth of systematic discussion,
in public and academic discourse, around the subject of what we
ought, and can, do to address the fact that 30,000 children die
each day of easily-preventable, poverty-related causes.
Does This
Type of Stuff Really Make A Difference?
I'm not sure, but I'm inclined to believe that it does. Reading,
for instance, the relevant works of Peter Singer and Peter Unger
certainly has had a profoud effect on my thinking about the subject.
I post this website on the off chance that they, or works like
them, might have a similar impact on others.
