We are researchers in Philosophy at the University of Begen whose work focuses on topics in moral, political, social, and legal philosophy. We also have several affiliate members from other departments and institutions. We work on a wide range of topics but share a common interest in normative questions about pressing societal and global issues such as health care, housing, economic inequality, climate change, rights, democracy, immigration, and criminal justice.
