I’m Professor of Practical Philosophy at Stockholm University and Senior Researcher at the Stockholm Centre for Healthcare Ethics (CHE). My research is in political philosophy and normative and applied ethics, especially population-level bioethics and what is known as politics, philosophy, and economics (PPE). I’m particularly interested in priority setting in health care, public health ethics, and the ethics of pandemic preparedness, demographic change and human genetic engineering. In ethical theory, my main interest is moral relativism. Currently, I’m working on a book on moral relativism for Oxford University Press.
I talk about my work here and my academic background there.
