Asher Shang

  • Graduate Student
I received my B.A. in Philosophy (2023) from Fudan University, China. I spent my junior year (2021-22) at the University of California, Berkeley. I am a Visiting Student Research Collaborator (2025-26) at Princeton University. 

I work mainly in moral and political philosophy. My current interests include population ethics, distributive ethics, risk, and uncertainty; reasons and rationality; equality and priority; and various forms of injustice in our interpersonal and social life. I am also interested in formal theories of decision and social choice.
