Dear all, We hope you've had a restful festive period! The Practical Ethics Readings Group will be continuing this term, where we will be discussing papers under the general theme of 'Ethics and Technology'. You can find details of the reading list below. We will be meeting on Fridays from 4-5:30 pm, with the first session taking place on 22nd January.
We would love for as many of you to join as possible, regardless of whether you attended the reading group last term. We particularly encourage students to attend! If you would like to attend the reading group, then please get in touch with one of us (ejc97 or kpav2) so we can add you to our mailing list. We will be sending out PDFs of the readings, alongside Zoom links, weekly.
