Essays and reflections

This is where further thinking happens in public. Some of what appears here will be long-form essays, others will be shorter notes: reactions to a news event, a newly published book, a legal ruling, or a policy development that bears on the questions at the heart of this site.

The common thread is the conviction that these questions matter — that how we understand human dignity, and whether we can build shared frameworks around it, will have real consequences for how the 21st century unfolds.
