Costanza Porro

I am a Lecturer in Political Philosophy at the School of Global Affairs of Lancaster University in the UK.
My research interests are at the intersection between political philosophy, feminist philosophy and legal theory, with a particular focus on theories of equality, the ethics and politics of care, the philosophy of vulnerability, and the philosophy of criminal punishment.
I am currently working on a book manuscript which explores the relationship between care, relational equality and justice.
Until September, I was doing a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship, which I started at the Manchester Centre for Political Theory in 2022. Prior to that, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute of Philosophy of the University of Hamburg. In 2019, I received my PhD from the Dickson Poon School of Law of King’s College London, where I also did an MA in Philosophy. I hold a BA in Philosophy from the University of Pavia.
