Brief Biography
Before coming to Queen's, Andrew Lister taught at Concordia University and spent a year as FRQSC post-doctoral fellow at the University of Montreal's Centre de recherche en 茅thique. He has been been a visitor at Oxford University's Center for the Study of Social Justice, and at the UCLouvain's Chaire Hoover d'茅thique 茅conomique et sociale. He specializes in contemporary normative political theory, particularly related to democracy and distributive justice. His research has focused on two main themes: public reason, or neutrality in political decision-making, and reciprocity, in relation to egalitarianism. He also has an ongoing interest in the work of John Rawls, and its relationships with the work of others (for example, David Hume, Friedrich Hayek, and Frank Knight).
