I’m a Research Fellow in Philosophy at University of Oslo working on how to think straight about thorny issues in applied ethics.
I’m principal investigator of “What should not be bought and sold?”, a 4-year project (2016 – 2020) funded by the Research Council of Norway. I blog in English at Moralizers.com and in Norwegian at Moralistene.no.
Here’s my CV. I’m @oleMMoen on Twitter.
