JAPA PALLIKKATHAYIL’s research focuses on the relationship between moral and political philosophy. Her recent work develops an account of the moral norms governing the use of coercion in interpersonal interactions, and explores the implications of that account for justifying the state’s use of coercion. She also has interests in Kant’s political philosophy, the ethics of information, and bioethics.
