Sanjar Akayev

I'm a PhD candidate in political theory at the Central European University (CEU) in Vienna.

My research interests are currently centered around theories of relational justice, the ethics and epistemology of personal relationships (especially friendship), remedial liability for state action, and the ethics of migration and demographic policy. My dissertation, tentatively titled "Essays on Friendship and Justice", is supervised by Andres Moles (primary), Anca Gheaus, and Cathy Mason.

If you'd like to discuss some of the topics mentioned above or exchange drafts, feel free to get in touch!
