Education and careerHe completed a B.A. degree in English literature at the University of the South (Sewanee). He completed a second B.A. degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics then did graduate work in philosophy at Corpus Christi College, Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. He then earned his M.A. at the University of Oxford. He was offered a research studentship at the St. John's College, Cambridge from 1979 to 1983. He studied first under Jonathan Glover and Derek Parfit at the University of Oxford and was later supervised by Bernard Williams at the University of Cambridge, where he was a research fellow of St. John's College from 1983 to 1986. He received his doctorate in 1986. His thesis title was Problems of Population Theory. He taught at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (1986–2003) and at Rutgers University (2003–2014).[1] He has been White's Professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of Oxford since 2014.[1] WorkHe has written extensively on normative and applied ethics. His publications include The Ethics of Killing: Problems at the Margins of Life (Oxford University Press, 2002), Killing in War (OUP, 2009), which argues against foundational elements of the traditional theory of the just war, The Morality of Nationalism (co-edited with Robert McKim, OUP, 1997), and Ethics and Humanity (co-edited with Ann Davis and Richard Keshen, OUP, 2010). McMahan has written on the subject of intensive animal farming as a major ethical problem and is one of the main contributors in the ethical debate on wild animal suffering. He argued for a strong negative duty to stop the suffering inflicted on animals through modern industrial agriculture and made a case for intervening in nature to alleviate the suffering of wild animals.[2][3] He is on the editorial board of The Journal of Controversial Ideas.[4] Selected bibliography
