Research interests

Felix's research focuses on questions of reparative justice, structural injustice, and the normative dimensions of all things groups. His dissertation, Between Groups and Across Time: A Relational Group-Based Account of Reparations for Historical Injustice, develops a model of reparative justice and solves puzzles about how groups can persist through time and be wronged such that we can owe reparative justice for wrongs in the distant past. He also maintains research interests in feminist philosophy and applied ethics, with two current (distinct) side projects on understanding oppression and carbon offsetting. When he is not thinking about how to overcome structural injustices and wrongs in the distant past, he can be found trying to overcome mountains with his climbing rope.
