Our Speaker

Thaddeus Metz, PhD

Professor Thaddeus Metz often draws on values salient in the African philosophical

tradition to address a variety of moral, political, and legal controversies. He has published

more than 300 works, some of which have been translated into one of more than a dozen

languages. His articles have appeared in journals such as Theoretical Medicine and

Bioethics, the Monash Bioethics Review, the Journal of Medicine and Philosophy, and Public

Health Ethics, and his chapters have been published in books that include Bioethical

Insights into Values and Policy (Springer), The Ethics of Reproductive Genetics (Springer),

and the Cambridge Handbook of the Ethics of Ageing (Cambridge UP). Metz was once

designated one of ‘The World’s Top 50 Thinkers’ by Prospect Magazine for bringing African

ideas to global audiences.
