Hannah Winther
Background and activities
I am a joint PhD candidate in applied ethics at NTNU and University of Copenhagen. In my dissertation, I ask whether genome editing of farmed salmon can be morally acceptable. My theoretical framework is based in a wittgensteinian approach to animal ethics, with Cora Diamond and Iris Murdoch as central theoretical resources.
I am also one of three editors for the philosophy series at the publication house House of Foundation, which publishes Norwegian translations of contemporary philosophy.
