Personal information

Associate Professor of Ethics
Personal website: https://jjwwieland.nl/

Joined the VU in 2013, with a research project on strategic ignorance - e.g. whether consumers can be held responsible for strategically ignorant wrongdoing (such as meat consumption).

With my group, I’m working on collective harms (some info).

One of my claims is that we should not fly because we should not make an unfair exception for ourselves: https://jjwwieland.nl/outreach/

I teach on all sorts of responsibility questions. Do companies like Shell have a responsibility to help fight climate change? To what extent can the food industry be held responsible for our health? Should the government take more responsibility? Should we take responsibility for our history of colonialism? Who’s responsible for what AI does?
