📣WE ARE HIRING📣
Das Institut für Theologie und Frieden (ithf) und das Zentrum für ethische Bildung in den Streitkräften (zebis) vergeben erstmals ein Fellowship für herausragende Nachwuchswissenschaftler*innen, die sich mit Ethik in der Sicherheitspolitik beschäftigen.

Exciting news: I have been appointed director of the Institute for Theology and Peace (ITHF) & the Centre for Ethical Education in the Armed Forces (zebis).

In the coming months, both institutions will merge into a new think tank—linking theology, ethics & security policy in fresh dialogue.
#PME

Seit gestern habe ich eine neue Aufgabe: Ich leite jetzt das Institut für Theologie und Frieden & das Zentrum für ethische Bildung in den Streitkräften. Beide Einrichtungen werden bald zu einem neuen Think Tank zusammengeführt – an der Schnittstelle von Theologie, Ethik & Sicherheitspolitik.

Delighted to receive a physical copy of my latest publication. In this new book on Just War Theory and Artificial Intelligence, Bernhard Koch and I argue about the morality of fully autonomous armed drones. We ground our argument in the Catholic tradition.

Fantastic conference on "Just War and Just Peace" organised by the Ludovica University of Public Service and Pázmány Peter Catholic University. A keynote by Card. Michael Czerny SJ as well as thought-provoking discussions. And all of that in stunningly beautiful Budapest.

Very exciting to see the cover of this forthcoming book on Just War Theory and AI. To this volume, Bernhard Koch (Institut für Wehrmedizinische Ethik der Bundeswehr) and I contribute a chapter titled “On the Morality of Fully-Autonomous Armed Drones.” @dsdkings.bsky.social

Delighted to have received a physical copy of Just War Thinkers Revisited. This edited volume includes my chapter on Pope Francis.

Very honoured to be speaking to the Commission of the Bishops' Conferences of the European Union on ethical issues related to the war against Ukraine this afternoon.

Good news! The introduction to my Ethics&InternationalAffairs roundtable on the war against Ukraine has now been made available #openaccess.

I am delighted to have contributed a chapter on Pope Francis, in which I provide a balanced assessment of the Pope's attitude towards just war thinking. I do so by reflecting on his remarks on the war against Ukraine that have repeatedly caused controversy.

❗️New Publication❗️
Just War Thinkers Revisited, edited by Daniel Brunstetter and Cian O'Driscoll, has just been published by Routledge.

Having signed up, I guess it is time for a first post... I recently organised a roundtable for Ethics and International Affairs on ethical issues related to the war against Ukraine.
