Professor Cécile Fabre
MA, DPhil, FBA
Senior Research Fellow since 2014
My current research looks at the ethics of the transition from war to peace. I am currently finishing a research monograph which addresses (amongst others) questions such as the ethics of ending wars, what constitutes a just peace settlement, whether we are morally obliged to punish war criminals, and whether and how we should commemorate wars. I am also developing a few smaller projects – including one on prisoners’ rights, and another one on the question of self-forgiveness.
