I’m pleased to announce that Jessica Flanigan is going to be guest blogging for BHL for the coming month.

Jessica works on political philosophy and applied ethics. This year she is a ABD at Princeton’s Program in Political Philosophy and a visiting scholar at Brown University. Next semester, she will join the Jepson School of Leadership Studies at University of Richmond. Her dissertation, Liberal Medicine, explores the ethics of pharmaceutical regulation. There she argues that prohibitive pre-market testing requirements and prescription drug systems are seriously unjust because they violate citizens’ rights of self-medication and are discriminatory. More generally, she is interested in bioethics, leadership ethics, feminism, liberalism, business ethics, normative ethics, political economy, and philosophy of law. You can find more information about her work on her website.
