Education and career

[edit]

Johannsen read for a BA in philosophy with a minor in history at York University from 2003 to 2007, before reading for an MA in philosophy at the same institution from 2007 to 2009. He read for a PhD in philosophy at Queen's University from 2010 to 2015.[1] His dissertation was titled On the Conceptual Status of Justice and it was supervised by Christine Sypnowich.[2]

Johannsen took up a visiting assistant professorship at Saint Mary's University, Halifax, from 2016 to 2017, followed by a visiting assistant professorship at Trent University from 2017 to 2018. He remained a sessional faculty member at Trent from 2018 onward. In 2020, Johannsen became an adjunct assistant professor at Queen's University and a Fellow in Animals in Philosophy, Politics, Law, and Ethics (APPLE) at the university.[1] His research focuses on social and political philosophy, as well as animal and environmental ethics. Additionally, Johannsen is a host on the New Books Network's Animal Studies podcast.[3]

Works

[edit]

Johannsen published A Conceptual Investigation of Justice in 2018, a revised version of his dissertation as a book.[4] It was the subject of a symposium at the Canadian Philosophical Association's 2018 meeting. The presented papers were later published in Dialogue: Canadian Philosophical Review.[5]

Johannsen's Wild Animal Ethics was published in 2020. It investigates whether humans have a duty to reduce wild animal suffering from a deontological perspective. A symposium was held by APPLE on the book at Queen's University in the same year,[6] with the contributing papers later published in Philosophia.[7] The book was reviewed by Thomas Lepeltier in the French-language popular science magazine Sciences Humaines.[8]

In 2024, Johannsen published Positive Duties to Wild Animals, a collection of essays by various scholars that aims to advance the interventionist literature on wild animal suffering by employing diverse theoretical frameworks, including some that have not previously been used to establish positive duties toward wild animals.[9] It was originally published as a special issue of the journal Ethics, Policy & Environment.[10]
