Aksel Sterri
I am a PhD fellow in philosophy, working on topics in applied ethics, and especially the morality of markets. I am affiliated with the project "What should not be bought and sold?", funded by the SAMKUL scheme of the Research Council of Norway.
I'm currently at Harvard's Department of Government as a Visiting Fellow on a Fulbright scholarship, working on the ethical limits of markets, the ethics of emergencies, methods in applied ethics, sex robots, and sex selection. Michael Sandel is my academic supervisor and I'm a Teaching Fellow in Tech Ethics.
Formerly I've been affiliated with Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics at the University of Oxford.
When I am not writing academic papers, I involve myself in the public debate about difficult ethical issues, such as selective abortion, markets in contested commodities and vegetarianism. I'm a regular contributor to the Norwegian daily Dagbladet. You can find my writings (in Norwegian) here.
The podcast Moralistene is a part of this exercise. On this podcast, my supervisor Ole Martin Moen and I discuss ethical issues of relevance for the wider public, and interview prominent philosophers like Peter Singer and Helga Varden. I hope you like it.
