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.
