Olaf College. He has diverse interests in applied ethics, especially biomedical ethics, and the philosophy of religion. For instance, he has published on the morality of procreation, the problem of evil, the cognitive science of religion, conscientious refusal in healthcare, and disability and wellbeing. More recently, he has been exploring Socrates’ injunction to follow the argument where it leads and what it means to successfully follow this ideal in an academic context. This last topic connects up to his growing interest in academic freedom. His research has appeared in journals such as Bioethics, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, and The Monist.
