Research Interests include democratic theory, liberal political legitimacy, claim-rights frameworks, and moral compromise ethics. His work interrogates tensions between utopian ideal theory and pragmatic political practice, emphasizing the role of shared responsibility and procedural justice in reconciling conflicting moral convictions.
Publication Trends reveal a focus on reconciling Rawlsian political theory with contemporary challenges in moral disagreement, religious exemptions, and polygamy ethics. His 2024 article critiques epistemic peerhood arguments, while 2021 works explore strict compliance assumptions in justice frameworks and reductive theories of directed duties.
May's scholarship bridges normative ethics and institutional design, with recurring themes of political reconciliation, public reason, and democratic legitimacy across secular and religious contexts.
