I’m Rohan Selva-Radov, an undergraduate studying at Merton College, University of Oxford. You can contact me by email at rohanselvaradov@outlook.com.
My degree is in PPE (philosophy, politics and economics), but I like to spend my time doing other things, some of which include:
Two other facts about me: I’ve signed the🔸10% Pledge to donate one-tenth of my income to high-impact charities, and I’m vegan (for a mixture of animal welfare and environmental reasons). I think the world would be a better place if there was a stronger norm of people doing those things – and you can join & contribute if you don’t already! Morality is not all-or-nothing. It would be a good thing even to give away 1% of your income, or just slightly reduce how many animals you eat.
This list of questions I wrote gives you a sense of the sorts of things that interest me in the world, though if you want to see how I present myself academically, you can take a look at the personal statement I wrote for my Oxford application. You might also be interested in reading my thoughts on the first year of PPE, or browsing through the tutorial essays I wrote.
I’m still figuring out how I want to manage my online presence. In the past, I erred very strongly on the side of keeping my thoughts entirely to myself. Now I want to give the other extreme a go and am experimenting with publishing lots more, including rough drafts - so not everything here will be fully fleshed out or thought through. There are also some pieces which I wrote in the past but no longer endorse the content of, which are normally (but not necessarily) marked out with a preamble saying why.
