̽»¨¾«Ñ¡

I am professor in ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ ethics at the Department of learning, informatics, management and ethics (LIME), ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡.

I studied practical philosophy (ethics) at Uppsala University and defended my thesis on value assumptions in microeconomics in 2002. Since 2002 I have worked with ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ ethics, first in Uppsala and then at ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡, in particular with ethical matters relating to ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ research, but also clinical ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ ethics. I became associate professor (docent) at KI 2008 and full professor 2015.

My research group is interested in interdisciplinary collaboration, so do not hesitate to contact me or my colleagues if you want to explore common interests.

My research is dedicated to ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ ethics, which includes both empirical and philosophical work on ethical matters in medicine. I do research in both main fields of ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ ethics, i.e., clinical ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ ethics (healthcare ethics) and ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ research ethics. As a ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ ethicist, I have a quite broad general competence in doing applied ethics, that is applying the ethics toolbox to a variety of areas. This means I can be open to collaboration with researchers from many different fields. In collaboration, we can identify and analyze ethical aspects of clinical and research ethical issues at hand.

Presently, I participate in a project on the best interest of the child, focusing on decisions concerning children in social care. This is a collaboration between researchers in ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ ethics, law, and social work. I also work on authorship issues in citizen science, (non-standard applications of) plagiarism, patient-centred care and shared decision-making, rational suicides, and ethical issues on live tissue training.

I have teaching experience in ethics, ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ ethics, research ethics, and philosophy of science. I presently mainly teach research ethics, to master students, doctoral students, and doctoral supervisors. But I also participate in physicians' specialist training, with days exploring clinical ethical issues.
