Research Interests
I am an interdisciplinary bioethcist who is primarily interested in medical ethics, but also various ethical questions associated with emerging biotechnologies. I am also concerned with the social and anthropological nature of morality and ethics, and the relationship between the intellectual field(s) of applied (bio)ethics and, one the one hand, fields of practice, such as medicine, and on the other, modes of governance, including professional regulation and broader political processes. My current research is primarily addresses matters relating to psychedelic medicine, conscientious obection and abortion.
