I'm a PhD candidate in philosophy at both Rutgers and Stockholm University under a cotutelle agreement. I work on a variety of issues at the intersections of normative ethics, applied ethics, and political philosophy.
Much of my present research focuses on one of two projects. The first is about the moral and political philosophy of cost-imposition. In particular, I'm interested in why it's sometimes fair to impose costs on individuals in order to promote public and private goods that they do not themselves benefit from. My dissertation - Preventive Justice: A Consequentialist Approach - takes up questions about fair cost-imposition within the ethics of self-defense in particular and lays the foundations for further work on punishment, war, triage, reparations, and climate change. My second major project is in the philosophy, politics, and economics of information technology. I'm particularly interested in big data, antitrust policy, and property rights: Can our personal digital data be owned? If so, by whom and what is the normative rationale for recognizing such ownership rights? How does our answer to this question shape the uses to which data can be put? What implications do our answers to these questions have for designing morally desirable antitrust policy? Click here for my C.V. or email me at james.goodrich - at - mykolab.com |
