I am Associate Professor of Management at Loyola University Chicago's Quinlan School of Business where I teach business ethics and related topics. As a political theorist by training and a business ethicist by trade, much of my research and teaching focuses on the relationship between these two fields: how our political and social contexts influence (and are influenced by) our moral obligations when engaging in commercial activity. More generally, I am interested in the place of organizations and associations in our social and moral orders. I have also studied the nature of racial injustice and its interaction with institutional contexts, as well as questions related to the philosophy of humor. My work has been published in venues like the American Journal of Political Science, Business Ethics Quarterly, Journal of Politics, Journal of Business Ethics, Political Research Quarterly, Polity, and the Business Ethics Journal Review. My book, Everyone's Business, co-authored with Amit Ron, is now available from the University of Chicago Press. The book, written for people interested in business and political theory, considers the obligations that business have toward democratic principles and practices. My first book, The Form of the Firm (Oxford University Press) explores the political theory of the corporation, showing how moral concerns normally associated with political philosophy ought to affect the structure and behavior of corporate firms. It is available at the Oxford University Press. I am in the midst of a number of new projects on the meso-level institutions more generally and their relationship to democratic justice, the complicated ethics of free speech, and the normative dimensions of military organization. |
