Jussi Suikkanen

Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

I am more than happy to supervise PG students on the following areas:

Metaethics
Ethical theories
Practical reason, reasons, and value theory
Free will, moral responsibility and personal Identity
Well-being and happiness
Political philosophy
Realism and anti-realism debates
Early modern philosophy
Some areas of applied ethics such as population ethics and the ethics of climate change
I have supervised Masters dissertations on topics such as egoism, the Euthyphro contrast, animal ethics, ethics of parenting, human enhancement, panpsychism, the meaning of life, and so on. I am also currently a supervisor for eight PhD students: Dane Kirby (Iris Murdoch and love), Helen Ryland (human rights and marginal cases), Joe Adams (desert - co-supervised with Christopher Woodard at Nottingham), Man Him Ip (evolutionary debunking arguments), Jessica Sutherland (child soldiers and moral responsibility), Eli Rubinstein (ethics of risk), Perrine Sriwannawit (ethics of polygamy), and Ben Whittington (free will and physicalism).
