Jessica JT Fischer

I am a lecturer (permanent) in the Department of Philosophy, King’s College London. Before coming to King’s, I held postdoctoral position at the University of Bristol, LMU Munich, and Goethe University Frankfurt.

I completed my PhD in philosophy at University College London, but have also been a visitor at NYU and Princeton University and spent time at UC Berkeley and Sorbonne IV. 

Part of my work challenges the commonly accepted belief that, all other things equal, we often ought to bring about more good rather than less good. In another part, I am working to clarify and defend a broadly contractualist position in moral philosophy.
