More information about Andrei Poama

Andrei Poama is scientifically passionate about a variety of topics and disciplines, including public policy ethics, theories of public values, the ethics of criminal sentencing, the ethics of voting and elections, and the ethics and epistemology of AI technologies in the public sector. His work stresses the importance of theories and arguments that are analytically rigorous, empirically informed and policy-oriented.

He is currently leading a project titled Fair Educational Assessment in the Age of AI (FAIR-ASSESS), which aims to combine insights from political philosophy, value theory, educational sciences and AI governance research to offer practical guidelines for AI-assisted assessments (eg, papers, presentations, exams) in higher-education.

Next to his primary research focus, he is more broadly interested in questions about the value of open science, theories and implementation of public value(s), research ethics, the value(s) of universities in relation to society, and the practical role of public ethics and public values within university organizations.

 Andrei is Chair of the ECPR Standing Group on Political Theory, associate editor at Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, and member (by invitation) of the Public Policy Working Group of the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Society. He is co-editor of the Routledge Handbook of Ethics and Public Policy (2019), and has published in various prestigious academic journals, collective volumes, and encyclopedias (see Publications).
