I’m Ole Martin Moen, Professor of Ethics at Oslo Metropolitan University.

I work on how to think straight about thorny issues in applied ethics, including punishment, violence, sex, drugs, and biotechnology. I’m principal investigator of “What should not be bought and sold?”, a $1 million project funded by the Research Council of Norway.

Outside of academic life, I’m a queer parent and an aspiring novelist.

Judicial Corporal Punishment in Journal of Ethics and Social Philosophy. I argue that if standard forms of incarceration are justifiable, then so are certain forms of judicial corporal punishment.
