Profile
Liam Shields is Senior Lecturer in Political Theory at the University of Manchester. The unifying theme of Shields’ research is to address neglected fundamental questions that lie at the heart of real-world problems, and to carefully consider their practical implications. His work falls into three main areas: theories of equality and distributive justice, educational fairness, and child-rearing rights. He is current working on a book length treatment of childrearing relationships that will address the topics of adoption, grandparents' rights, and stepfamilies.
