Zofia Stemplowska

Professor of Political Theory

Affiliation: Department of Politics and International Relations
Expert in: Justice; Human rights
Geographic focus: Global

I am mostly interested in the problem of what people owe to each other as a matter of domestic, global and historical (post war) justice including commemoration and remembrance. I am also interested in the debate about ideal and nonideal theory: the problem of how to make theories of justice relevant to urgent, real world problems while avoiding ad hoc theorising and defeatism.

Research keywords: contemporary political philosophy, global justice, distributive justice, historical injustice, egalitarianism, responsibility and luck, collective responsibility, feasibility, migration, rights, jus post bellum, commemoration and remembrance.
