Lasse Nielsen is an Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark, specializing in moral political philosophy. His academic interests encompass political philosophy, social philosophy, and applied ethics, focusing on distributive justice, economic philosophy, health ethics, and issues related to health inequality and discrimination.
