Abstract

My research interests have been largely related to two events and activities in Iceland in recent years which have raised important questions in applied ethics and socio-political philosophy: 1. The construction of a population database as a resource for genetic research and subsequently the use of genetic information in research and health care. 2. The investigation of the causes and aftermath of the financial collapse and how that was facilitated by weak professional and democratic practices.
