Viv completed her doctoral thesis as part of the Essex Autonomy Project. Her PhD research was particularly concerned with a tension within autonomy – between the idea of non-intervention, freedom to choose and responsibility for our own actions on one hand, and on the other, socioeconomic rights and effective choices. Prior to her research, Viv worked for many years in the social welfare sector providing legal advice and assistance to people who were homeless or badly housed.
Research and knowledge-exchange initiative based in the School of Philosophy and Art History at the University of Essex.
