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 while I'm here and I'm currently 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, vegetarianism, markets in contested commodities in particular and markets and social justice more generally. I'm a regular contributor to the Norwegian daily Dagbladet. You can find my writings (in Norwegian) here.
I have also written books on Social Democracy (2014), The Power Elite (2016, with Åmås, Clemet, Wiedswang) and Euthanasia (2019, with Ole Martin Moen).
One the podcast Moralistene, 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.
