{:en}{:en}

Colin von Negenborn is a postdoctoral researcher at Kiel University, working at both the institute of philosophy and the Walther Schücking institute for international law. With a background in physics (ETH Zurich), Colin pursued a PhD in economics (HU Berlin) in the field of mechanism design, effectively reverse-engineering game theory. He is now taking the language of game theory to the realm of philosophy, using it to analyse questions of procedural justice: how are societal decision making processes to be designed for them to be “just”?
