I’m a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard’s government department and OsloMet. I spent 2021-2022 at the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics.
My research interests are at the intersection of ethics and economics. The focus of my post-doctoral work (funded by the Norwegian Research Council) is on ethical aspects of contagion, both in relation to infectious and non-communicable diseases. The project builds on my Ph.D. thesis in philosophy, where I examine the ethics of delicate market transactions.

prekt av deg å ha en blogg. Mulig jeg burde ha ventet med denne kommentaren til jeg har et spørsmål eller kommentar, men istedet for å aldri si noe:
Leste på twitter om din phd. Noe om at du utforsker grensene for kjøp og salg.
Refleksen min var negativ. Tenkte noe i retning av hvorfor en som virker så ressurssterk – på flere måter – investerer seg i ‘sånne spørsmål på en sånn måte’ (enkel og åpen formulering). En som deg har jo alternativer!?
Jeg kan sannsynligvis utdype med andre typer ord hvis du vil. Men først. Vil sette pris på om du (lett) kan produsere noen ord om hva som motiverte oppgaven (phd’n) og om du er generøs, kanskje i tillegg litt om påvirkningsevne, hvordan du ser deg selv, akademia, intellektualisme.
Takk for at du leser.
