Anne Lykkeskov

Anne Lykkeskov serves as an External Lecturer in the Department of Public Health, Section of Health Services Research at the University of Copenhagen, where she examines ethical dimensions of public health policy and clinical decision-making.

Her research centers on bioethics applied to real-world crises, with deep expertise in pandemic ethics (including lockdown controversies, intergenerational justice, and democratic principles during health emergencies) and climate policy ethics (notably moral justifications for agricultural interventions like beef taxation). This work consistently bridges philosophical frameworks with practical health services research, emphasizing Danish policy contexts and evidence-ethics-politics intersections.

Analysis of her 2017-2025 publications reveals a pronounced focus on COVID-19 ethical dilemmas, evolving from foundational pandemic ethics questions to specific Danish case studies. Her output demonstrates strong interdisciplinary synthesis across philosophy, public health, and political science, with recurring themes of justice, policy legitimacy, and moral responsibility in crisis governance.
