Research
Jules has worked on the notion of autonomy in political philosophy: what it might mean to claim that autonomy is relational, and whether, appropriately understood, such a claim is true.
Her current focus is on the following two projects:
1) the relationship between criminal justice and social justice, in particular: the adequacy of theoretical justifications of punishment when applied to non-ideal circumstances in which injustices (material and social) are rife; the preconditions of the state’s punitive authority.
2) the adequacy of recent conceptions of liberty in dealing with the freedom (or lack thereof) to perform non-standard actions (such as speech acts, which require authority).
Biography
Jules studied at the University of Sheffield as an undergraduate and then as a postgraduate, during which time she spent part of 2005 at the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT, Cambridge (US). She has lectured at the University of Sheffield and at the University of Cambridge (UK) (where she was a Junior Research Fellow of Churchill College), arriving at Cardiff University in 2009.
