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 thinking about responsibilities for collective harms (some info here).
I tend to have Kantian intuitions, according to which we should adopt more sustainable lifestyles since not doing so is not universalizable (see this paper, or a short story that illustrates this view).
Recently, I’ve started to move from individual responsibility to corporate responsibility. Should corporations like Shell help fight climate change?
