This is the personal and professional site of Kalle Grill. I am a philosophy Ph.D. focused on moral and political philosophy, with a special interest in moral reasoning, liberty, justice, public health and human relationships. Currently I am a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow at Uppsala University and a Visiting Research Fellow at Keele University. I sometimes work as philosophical councilor, lecturer and facilitator outside academia. With some friends I have founded the philosophical society Filosofigruppen Sherpa. My two main hobbies, outside philosophy and not counting books and movies, are live roleplaying games and shorinji kempo (budo).
