I am working on a postdoctoral project about scarce goods for which it is hard or impossible to increase supply, such as pristine nature, urban housing, attractive jobs and high status (i.e. what Fred Hirsch called 'positional goods'), and problems concerning the conflicts of interest over who gets access to such goods.

I also do research on distributive justice in general, the philosophy of work and labour justice, and on methods in normative theory.

Before joining the Department of Philosophy at the Univeresity of Bergen I worked at the Department of Political Science at Aarhus University, from where I hold my PhD. I have also held visiting positions at the Hoover Chair of economic and social ethics at UCLouvain, and at Nuffield College and the Department of Politics and International Relations at Oxford University.
