Hello, I’m Toby. I’ve been involved with effective altruism since 2005 when I started putting together the ideas behind Giving What We Can. I co-founded Giving What We Can in 2009 and the Centre for Effective Altruism in 2011. I’m currently the president of the former and a trustee of the latter. I am a Research Fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University. I work on global poverty, global health, global priority setting, and existential risk. This involves academic research as well as policy work with governments, NGOs, and foundations. I am just about to begin a grant on population ethics, so I’ll be spending more of my academic time on understanding the theoretical and practical issues surrounding how we should value future generations.
