Director
Dr. Kasoka Kasoka, PhD, FRSM, is an interdisciplinary researcher working at the intersection of law, ethics, philosophy, global health, human rights, and emerging technologies. He is the founder and director of Ethica Nexus Lab, where he brings together legal, ethical, and normative analysis, empirical research, and international health and human-rights practice to examine how global frameworks translate into policy, governance, and action—and how these frameworks are experienced by people and communities in diverse social and cultural contexts.
Kasoka’s scholarship combines philosophical and normative analysis with empirical inquiry. His work spans bioethics, autonomy and consent, medical decision-making, HIV policy, health equity, health and human rights, and the governance of emerging technologies. He is particularly interested in how legal and ethical principles are interpreted, negotiated, and experienced in practice, and in how global frameworks can remain responsive to local realities.
Across his research, Kasoka has explored the relationship between law, normative theory, policy, and the social, cultural, and institutional conditions in which decisions are made. His interdisciplinary orientation informs his current work on digital governance, responsible AI, data safety, and health equity, where he examines how technological and institutional systems can be developed and governed in ways that remain attentive to human rights, ethical principles, and the realities of affected communities.
His publications include peer-reviewed research in journals including Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy, Journal of Bioethical Inquiry, PLOS ONE, Journal of Medical Ethics, and The Lancet. In 2024, he was a named author on the International AIDS Society–Lancet Commission on Health and Human Rights report, “Under threat,” published in The Lancet.
A Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine (FRSM), Kasoka is also a member of the European Society for Philosophy of Medicine and Health Care (ESPMH) and serves as a Reviewing Editor within the Springer Nature Reviewing Community. His professional experience spans more than 12 years and includes work with or support for initiatives involving the World Health Organization, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the International AIDS Society, and Positive East.
Kasoka holds a PhD in Law from Birkbeck, University of London, a master’s degree in Forensics, Criminology and Law from Maastricht University, and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of London. He has also undertaken postgraduate study in international human rights at Åbo Akademi University and completed an AI certificate through the University of Oxford.
