Public Ethics Radio

Thursday, 28 August 2008 in Notices by Jessica Wolfendale | No comments

There’s a new podcast radio program called Public Ethics Radio that’s just been launched. The program is a production of the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics, an Australian Research Council Special Research Centre, at the Australian National University, the University of Melbourne, and Charles Sturt University, and is hosted by Christian Barry and produced by Matt Peterson.

Public Ethics Radio podcasts interviews with ethicists on different ethical issues in public life. Each program focuses on a particular theme—military intervention, international trade, political corruption—and takes as its starting point some more specific issue that is prominent in the public consciousness. The first program is an interview with Thomas Pogge on the topic of pharmacuetical innovation, and upcoming episodes include interviews with Leif Wenar (on the resource curse), Jessica Wolfendale (on torture), and Larry Temkin (on extending human lifespans)

You can access the podcasts at www.publicethicsradio.org, and they are also available from the website of the Carnegie Council of International Affairs at http://www.cceia.org.
