Jason Branford

Currently a Postdoctoral Fellow (Habil.) at the University of Hamburg Centre for Ethics in IT. My Ph.D. (2017-2021, LMU Munich) was entitled "Enhancing Human Lives: Toward an Embedded Approach to the Human Enhancement Project". My primary academic interest is in applied ethics and moral, social, and political philosophy. In the first category my focus has been on moral technologies (particularly forms of "human enhancement") and the moral dimensions of technologies, while in the later the focus has been on the ethics of immigration, human rights, solidarity, and on the notion of moral and social progress. My philosophy is greatly inspired by John Dewey's pragmatism, Iris Marion Young's feminism, and relational egalitarianism.
