1. Why did you choose LSE and the programme?
I wanted to learn how moral philosophy can or should contribute to policymaking. The programme at LSE promised a good mix of two aspects that interested me: discussions of concrete policies and broader questions, e.g., what a good policymaking process should look like or which potentially problematic concepts policymaking relies upon.

1. Why did you choose LSE and the programme?

1. Why did you choose LSE and the programme?
During my undergraduate studies, I delved into the field of public policy from a technical perspective. The courses frequently presented terms like ‘efficiency’, ‘standards of living’, ‘poverty’, ‘trade-offs’, and ‘inequality’ in the context of positive analysis. However, I noticed that these concepts were heavily value-laden, and that the implementation and […]
