TOM DOUGLAS


I'm a Wellcome Trust Research Fellow in the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics & Faculty of Philosophy, University of Oxford. I'm also a non-stipendiary Junior Research Fellow at Balliol, one of Oxford's colleges. My research lies in practical and normative ethics and currently focuses on the ethics of enhancing normal human capacities, modifying moral dispositions, and producing dangerous knowledge.
