Lars Lindblom

Senior Associate Professor

I work with issues in the intersections between theories of justice, policy, and both social and natural science.

My research

In my research, I have worked on topics like equality of education, labor unions, risk management and theories of justice. At present, I am particularly interested in the philosophy of childhood, assumptions of agency in AI, and democratic stability. I am the executive editor of the journal De Ethica.
