My research primarily concerns questions about responsibility, value theory, normativity, and the philosophy of emotions. I am particularily interested in what blame and praise are, and when they are fitting and morally justified. I am also interested in aesthetics, epistemology and the philosophy of love. 

I joined IdéSam 2025. Prior to that, I was a senior lecturer in philosophy at Linköping University (fixed-term) and a postdoctoral fellow at Ludwig Maximilian University Munich (six months) and at Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences, Campus Lillehammer (four months). 

In the winter of 2023/24, I recieved my PhD in practical philosophy from Lund University. My dissertation addressed a range of questions concerning blame, such as what blame is, when it is fitting, and how we should understand the idea of the right to blame. During my time as a doctoral fellow at Lund university, I was a member of the international project "Lund Gothenburg Responsibility Project".
