Dr. Hosein will join the philosophy department in Fall 2010, after completing a post-doc in law and philosophy at the University of Chicago Law School. His dissertation, The Significance of Fairness, explores the relation between moral constraints that fall on private individuals and those that apply to political institutions and their agents.
