Cecile Fabre
Cécile Fabre
Current role:
Cécile Fabre is currently University Lecturer and Tutorial Fellow in Philosophy, Lincoln College, having previously taught at Edinburgh University and the London School of Economics. Dr Fabre took her first degree in history, and her strong interest in the history of war shapes and informs her philosophical writings, which is why she was delighted to be asked to join the advisory board for SOFO.
Research and publications:
Cecile works in contemporary, normative political theory. Her teaching and research interests include theories of rights, theories of justice, bioethics and the ethics of war. She is currently writing ‘A Cosmopolitan Theory of The Just’ in which she aims is to defend an egalitarian, liberal, and cosmopolitan account of the just war, in its three dimensions: when may we resort to war? (jus ad bellum); how must we fight the war? (jus in bello), and how must we act once the war is over? (jus post bellum).
