I’m a Professor of Ethics in the Health Sciences at Oslo Metropolitan University. I try to find better ways to think about thorny ethical issues, and to present my findings in academic articles that are accessible to non-specialists.
Besides working as an academic philosopher, I’m a queer parent and an aspiring novelist.
Here’s my CV.
