Harry Brighouse: An Introduction

Brighouse is a British born political philosopher, whose key works are centred around educational philosophy and educational policy.
Harry Brighouse is the son of Tim Brighouse, a former commissioner of schools for London. He studied his degree at Kings College London and went on to do his PHD in the University of Southern California.
Currently working at the University of Wisconsin in the US as a Professor of Philosophy, Brighouse is also an Affiliate Professor of Educational Policy Studies.
He has spent the majority of his working life in the US, therefore much of his work is based upon the US education system. Although most aspects can be applied to both US and UK education systems.
Within the context of education, his main project is exploring a number of school reform ides, from a liberalist point of view, in light of an egalitarian theory of educational justice.
He and other scholars regularly contribute to the blog Crooked Timber. (Links posted in column on the right.)
His research interests include: what constitutes a good childhood, the aims of education and educational reform.
