Charlie Blunden (PhD student)
I have studied philosophy at the University of Reading, UK, and I have a research master’s degree in philosophy from Utrecht University. I’m interested in the interdisciplinary area between political philosophy, political science, psychology, and economics. I’m particularly interested in problems of ignorance and irrationality in democracies, and in how different institutional environments can scaffold or undermine human cognition and motivation.

Dr. Cecilie Eriksen (Affiliated researcher)
I have a master’s degree in philosophy and a PhD in law, both from Aarhus University, Denmark. My main research area is moral philosophy (normative ethics and meta-ethics), and I also have an interest in moral anthropology and legal history. Recently, I have published on the topics of moral change as well as the thinking of K.E. Løgstrup and the later Wittgenstein.
