Helen Frowe is Professor of Practical Philosophy and Knut and Alice Wallenberg Scholar at Stockholm University, where she directs the Stockholm Centre for the Ethics of War and Peace. She also serves as Honorary Chair of the Society for Applied Philosophy and was a Visiting Fellow at Perry World House, University of Pennsylvania during 2022-2023.
Helen Frowe specializes in moral and political philosophy with particular expertise in the ethics of harming and saving. Her research spans the ethics of war and self-defense, the duty to rescue, and the ways in which individuals can be implicated in others' wrongdoing through observation, assistance, and moral coercion. Her work bridges theoretical philosophy with practical applications in international relations and conflict ethics.
Her publications reveal a strong focus on ethical dilemmas in conflict situations, with particular attention to civilian liability, wrongful assistance in foreign interventions, and moral coercion. Her research consistently examines the boundaries of moral responsibility in complex situations where harm is unavoidable, exploring how agents navigate competing moral obligations.

Frowe leads significant research projects including a Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation-funded project on the ethics of foreign intervention and previously co-led an AHRC project (2017-2020) on cultural heritage in war. Her work has substantial policy relevance, particularly in just war theory and international humanitarian law.
As director of the Stockholm Centre for the Ethics of War and Peace, Frowe oversees a vibrant research hub that brings together philosophers, political scientists, and practitioners to address pressing ethical questions in international conflict.
