Biography

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. Lasse has been particularly involved in exploring the concept of sufficientarianism as a normative view of distributive justice, arguing for the importance of ensuring everyone has enough resources rather than equal distribution. He has made significant contributions to the development of a novel sufficientarian theory, which remains a focal point of his ongoing research. Lasse also examines health inequalities, seeking to understand their moral and philosophical implications. He heads the Values and Welfare Research Group at the University of Southern Denmark and is interested in hosting visiting scholars and guiding postdoctoral candidates, particularly those pursuing Marie-Sklodowska Curie Fellowships. Lasse is an enthusiastic teacher of courses on political philosophy, political theory, social philosophy, and ethics, and he welcomes opportunities to collaborate with external scholars. His work is characterized by a commitment to critical inquiry and identifying pathways for social improvement through philosophical exploration.
