Helen Frowe

Professor of Practical Philosophy, University of Stockholm
Director, Stockholm Centre for the Ethics of War and Peace
I'm Professor of Practical Philosophy and Knut and Alice Wallenberg Scholar at Stockholm University, where I direct the Stockholm Centre for the Ethics of War and Peace. I live in Cambridge, UK. I work on moral and political philosophy. I am Honorary Chair of the Society for Applied Philosophy.

My work on the ethics of war and self-defence has been published in Ethics, Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy, Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, Journal of Applied Philosophy, Law and Philosophy, Journal of Moral Philosophy, as two monographs (Defensive Killing, Oxford University Press; The Ethics of War and Peace: An Introduction, Routledge) and in numerous edited collections. I am also co-editor of the Oxford Handbook of Ethics of War.

I am currently working on a series of papers on the duty to rescue. Thus far, these papers have appeared in Ethics and Philosophical Quarterly. Another is forthcoming in Oxford Studies in Political Philosophy, and won the 2019 Marc Sanders Prize in Political Philosophy. 

I am also working on the ways in which we can be implicated in other people's wrongdoing. My paper on Wrongful Observation (co-authored with Jonathan Parry) has appeared in Philosophy and Public Affairs. Another, on wrongful assistance, is forthcoming as part of a symposium on indirect intervention in the Journal of Applied Philosophy. A third, on moral coercion, is currently under review. 

Between 2017 and 2020, I was co-PI on an AHRC project on the status of cultural heritage in war (with Derek Matravers). Derek and I are writing a book on protecting cultural heritage in war.

​I am also running a project on the ethics of foreign intervention (funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation).

I'm a Research Associate at the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict and at the Institute for Futures Studies in Stockholm. I've held visiting posts at Rutgers, Harvard, ANU (twice), Shandong University (China), York University (Canada), the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Studies (South Africa), UC Boulder and the Danish Institute for International Studies.
