I am a professor of philosophy. My work is primarily in ethics and philosophy. I am particularly interested in applied ethics.
I have previously worked on the badness of death, and have published work on the implications of how we think about the badness of death for distributive questions in health priority settings.
I have just finished a book on the philosophy of gratitude in Norwegian.
Currently I am working on a book on moralism, investigating whether we have a right to moralize, and how we should understand the scope and appropriateness of moralism. The book is tentatively called Minding Other People's Business - A defence of the right to moralize, and is under contract with Oxford University Press.
