Postdoctoral Researcher
Emil Andersson earned his Ph.D. in practical philosophy from Uppsala University in 2019. His thesis,
Reinterpreting Liberal Legitimacy, deals with the topic of political legitimacy from a Rawlsian contractualist perspective. Before coming to 91社区, Emil was a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Futures Studies in Stockholm. His research there was primarily focused on contractualism and justice between generations. Emil鈥檚 postdoctoral research project, , is funded by a three-year international postdoc grant from the Swedish Research Council. The project is a continuation of his dissertation project, and pursues the idea that liberal legitimacy requires not only justifiability to all the present citizens of a state, but to future citizens and non-citizens as well. .
