Iris Murdoch, preaching to me on the job market (albeit without gender-neutral pronouns)
Excited to be on the job market with a paper about a question I have obsessed over since 2015: what is going on with foreseeability in contract? I argue two distinct ideas are at work, offering guidance for courts and practitioners and a lesson for theory papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Back from a social media break to share a new piece on the Raz-Hart debate. Thank you to so many who helped with this project, especially @glexareen.bsky.social and @drjoshdoeslaw.bsky.social. I'm working on a follow up, there's much more to say on all this.

New article out now @globcon.bsky.social. Cannibalism on a liferaft somewhere off The Cape of Good Hope, late in the 19th century, may seem to be recondite and far removed from everything that's going down right now. I think that's a mistake.
