Postdoctoral Fellow Eilidh Beaton

Eilidh Beaton works on the political philosophy of migration, and her published work focuses on the scope of the right to refuge in international law, refugee rights to family reunion, and the impermissibility of national partiality during times of global crisis. Her current research prioritizes justice in internal displacement and the normative nature of contemporary immigration enforcement practices. Previously, Beaton was a fellow in the Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method at the London School of Economics and Political Science and a lecturer in political economy education at King’s College London. She received her PhD in philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania, and in August 2023 she will join the University of Aberdeen as a lecturer in philosophy.
