Fabian Freyenhagen is co-convener of TJN and chair of the research area “Conceptual and Normative Clarification of Transitional Justice”. He is a member of the Department of Philosophy and the Human Rights Centre. He read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Exeter College, Oxford, and then completed a PhD in philosophy at the University of Sheffield. Before joining Essex, he taught at Sheffield and Cambridge. His research interests are in moral and political philosophy, specifically the topics of (a) autonomy and (b) normativity and justification. In respect with transitional justice, Fabian is interested in the conceptual and normative issues (such as the question of how transitional justice relates to justice more generally, or the question of what kind of trade-offs are permissible in effecting a fundamental socio-political change) as well as the economic dimension (especially sovereign debt).
