Daniel Sharp is tenure-track Professor of Applied Ethics at the University of Vienna. His research is in moral and political philosophy, where he focuses specifically on questions related to migration, citizenship, equality, and democracy. Much of his research explores the nature and value of equality, and traces the implications of taking equality seriously for contemporary political debates. Recently, Daniel has been interested in threats to facing contemporary democracies, such as extreme political polarization and surging far-right populism, and how citizens and other political actors should respond to them. He is co-Principal Investigator on the grant DEPOLARIZE: DEveloping POLARIZation Interventions based on Empathy, which seeks to create a practice-oriented toolkit to reduce affective polarization. Before joining the University of Vienna, Daniel completed his PhD at New York University and held a postdoctoral fellowship at LMU Munich.
