Dr Sandberg is a Research Fellow in Practical Philosophy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and an Associate Researcher at the Centre for European Research on Microfinance at Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium.

The prize is named for Holmes Rolston III, in recognition of his pioneering work in the field of environmental philosophy.

Congratulations to our prize winner!
