I'm a philosopher (ABD) at Rutgers and Stockholm University under a cotutelle agreement. In Fall 2022, I will join the Department of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison as an Assistant Professor. I'm presently engaged in two major research projects. The first is about what I call, "Preventive Justice": Why is it sometimes just to impose harm on others in order to prevent bad outcomes? I am presently developing a consequentialist theory of Preventive Justice, focusing specially on the ethics of self-defense. My second major research project is in the emerging field of philosophy, politics, and economics of information. I'm particularly interested in the connections between 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? What implications do our answers to these questions have for designing morally desirable antitrust and competition policy? Click here for my C.V. or email me at james.goodrich - at - mykolab.com |
