      Summer Research Scholar

      Funding from the Health Research Council of New Zealand Summer Research Scholarship in Ethics. Administered by The University of Auckland, New Zealand.This project combined my two fields of study: philosophy and population health. The research was concerned primarily with obesity and the ethics of personal responsibility. The state of disparities in obesity was explored and analysed, to highlight any bearing this may have on personal responsibility. I subsequently developed an original framework for discussing the ethics of personal responsibility within the context of obesity, with implications for academic discourse and public policy.
