This handbook to the philosophy of human rights, edited by Jesse Tomalty and Kerri Woods is out (at an infuriatingly exorbitant price!) Lovely experience to work with them and contribute a piece on children's human rights.

If you have conservative sensitivities, can you also be an egalitarian? I think so. A forthcoming paper on a theme that Jerry Cohen discussed in one of my favourite philosophy pieces.
