Owen Clifton

Owen Clifton is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Regina, Canada. Clifton completed his PhD in philosophy in 2024 at Queen’s University, Canada, during which time he was also a Global Priorities Fellow and a Canada Graduate Scholar. In 2022, he was a visiting doctoral researcher in philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley, and an early-career fellow at the University of Oxford’s Global Priorities Institute. By invitation of the Global Priorities Institute, he returned to the University of Oxford in 2023 as a visiting scholar. At present, Clifton’s research primarily concerns what we owe to far-future generations: human beings who, if they ever come to exist, won’t come to exist for at least a century. Concretely, he is working on papers about population ethics and human-rights-based climate litigation.
