Person

In recent years the main focus of my research has been in the areas of normative ethics, not least problems pertaining to the concepts of desert, rights and equality. At present I work on the project, "The Moral Significance of Numbers," funded by the Swedish Research Council, which concerns the question of how to explain, within a deontological theory, why it matters morally how many people we are able to save by performing a given action. An earlier project about the nature of moral rights, also funded by the SRC, led to a book, Moral Rights and their Grounds, published by Routledge.

Since 2022 I am the Director of Studies in the Department of Philosophy. I also serve provisionally as coordinator for the BA-level program in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE).
