• The Empirical study of Ethics - Encompassing anthropological and sociological studies of local conceptions of the good, norms, and everyday ethical decision making as well as recent work in social psychology and empirical philosophy.
• Metaethics - ​Incorporating questions regarding the nature of ethics and value and their relationship to action.
• The Ethics of Research - ​Engaging with ongoing debates over the suitability of ethical review, the limits of objectivity, and ethical controversies.
