Timothy Weidel

Dr. Weidel works and teaches primarily in social/political philosophy and applied ethics, and also has interests in Marx, Critical Theory, Bioethics, Professional Ethics, and Feminist Ethics. His research focuses on the problem of global poverty and issues in global justice, particularly questions of moral motivation and moral psychology. Most recently he is working on the topic of Effective Altruism and whether or not the “Longtermist” version of Effective Altruism can provide sufficient moral motivation for persons to participate. He is also co-editing a collected volume on issues faced by ethicists who work in a variety of contexts.
