Julian Culp is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the American University of Paris. My main research and teaching interests are in ethics as well as in social and political philosophy.

In ethics, I have contributed to debates in applied ethics and meta-ethics. In applied ethics, my main interests have been global ethics – especially development ethics and the ethics of international responsibility – as well as educational ethics – especially autonomy and citizenship education. My book publications include Global Justice and Development (Palgrave, 2014) and Democratic Education in a Globalized World (Routledge, 2019).

Short description:
senior economist at the national statistical office of Luxembourg (STATEC). Specialized on well-being studies with a focus on sustainable and inclusive economic growth. My studies lead me to argue for a shift from GDP as the preeminent measure of quality of life to well-being, and propose that societies should invest in the conditions for better social relations. Such a reorganization requires a new cultural movement, which I call neo-humanism.
