Before the summer holiday I had the pleasure of spending a few evenings working on a contribution to the debate over the moral limits of markets. A nice opportunity to revisit this part of my book shelf 😅😊 #morallimitsofmarkets #bioetics

Received proofs for article: They removed my co-author and changed 'we' to 'I' throughout. Great job! #academia

My university email is no longer accessible now that six months have passed since my contract ended. A somewhat strange feeling, but last time I checked, emails were very much slowing down. And people have started using my regular email instead.

New article! Andersen, Bech, Wadmann, and I argue that there are egalitarian reasons to prioritize rare diseases. People with rare conditions are, in the relevant sense, unlucky that their diseases are expensive to treat/research. #bioethics #rarediseases onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Size Does Matter! Prioritizing Rare Diseases for Luck Egalitarian Reasons

Rarity provides a challenging case for contemporary priority setting. On the one hand, many philosophers and economists argue that rarity has no inherent moral value, and thus that rare diseases meri....

5/ I've enjoyed (mostly) my time in academia, where I've been since 2011. I am proud of what I have achieved, and happy that I can use much of what I have learned along the way in a new position.

Andreas Albertsen @andreasalbertsen.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

4/ I hope to stay in touch with the many wonderful people I have met through conferences, collaborations, reviewing, workshops, and academic life more broadly. I am looking forward to seeing where this new chapter leads.

3/ While this is not a research position, I fully expect to keep writing and publishing (also beyond my current R&Rs!). It has been such an important part of my professional life and of how I engage with questions and problems that I believe I will continue to do so.

2/ My role involves mapping existing knowledge on health inequalities and engaging with researchers, organizations, and other stakeholders. It is exciting to work on bringing research and practice closer together in this area.

1/ A brief professional update. A few weeks ago, I started a new position with Odense Municipality, where I am helping develop a new Centre for Health Equity in collaboration with the Region of Southern Denmark

🎉Excited 🎉 to share the publication of another paper written during my PhD, co-authored with @andreasalbertsen.bsky.social In this paper, we explore whether pandemic policies disadvantaging the unvaccinated count as wrongful discrimination. Read more here: jme.bmj.com/content/earl...

No jab, no access? Is differential treatment based on vaccination (wrongfully) discriminatory?

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries introduced policies that disadvantaged unvaccinated individuals, including fines, restrictions on access to public spaces, and lower healthcare priority. T...

My article on Danish organ donation legislation has just been published in Transplantation. It describes the new Danish system and briefly compares it with the active opt-out models used in England and the Netherlands. #Organdonation #Transplantation #Bioethics

Happy that my reply on organ markets and the limits of the best option argument has been accepted in the Journal of Medical Ethics. The piece clarifies why appeals to “best options” do less justificatory work under unjust background conditions than is often assumed. #organmarkets #bioethics

New book chapter out in this edited volume on organ markets. My chapter discusses theories of justice and controversial markets, focusing on how economic inequality shapes which markets are problematic. Thanks to the editors James Stacey Taylor and Marc Cherry. #bioethics #morallimitsofmarkets

Thanks Pamela. That is a really helpful comment. I do need to think about what I want and need here (and how much work I want to put into maintaining it).

That's it for my university webpage. Luckily, people can still see my work at ResearchGate, Google Scholar, etc. And good people have already suggested ways of creating my own website.

Andreas Albertsen @andreasalbertsen.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

Now that I don't have an institutional affiliation, I am going to set up a website to share the work I've published over the years. Any suggestions for tools to build a simple website? #academicchatter

I don’t yet know what comes next. I’ll figure that out. I won’t be moving abroad, but I’m open to new opportunities, conversations, and collaborations, inside and outside academia

Andreas Albertsen @andreasalbertsen.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

My work has focused on political theory and ethics. With a particular focus on health care priority setting, controversial markets, discrimination, distributive justice and organ donation.

Andreas Albertsen @andreasalbertsen.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

Proud of what I’ve contributed and accomplished : 55 published articles, lectures delivered, supervision of four talented PhD students, time as head of the political theory section, and several research projects led or co-led. I’ve learned a lot and worked with wonderful people.

These insights were also used to develop a normative framework showing how luck egalitarian distributive justice can function as a tool for assessing when markets become morally problematic.
