  • #6 - Carl Fox: Free Speech, Media, and Society
    Jul 3 2023

    Dr Carl Fox is a lecturer in Applied Ethics at University of Leeds, with a focus on free speech, media ethics, and democracy. Should freedom of expression be universal and without limits? Is all disruptive speech bad? When is cencorship justified? What should the role of the media be in a democracy? And in view of these questions, is society ultimately heading in the wrong direction?

  • #5 - Natasha McKeever: The Philosophy of Love
    Jun 26 2023

    Dr Natasha McKeever is a lecturer in Applied Ethics at University of Leeds, with a specific focus on the philosophy of love and sex.

    What is love? What is it for? Is it a social construct, reinforced by works of fiction? Does it have a reproductive function rooted in our evolutationary past? Is the experience of love universal? Are we supposed to even be monogamous? Why is infidelity wrong? Can we love more than one person, and utlimately what is the future of love and sex in a world of dating apps?

  • #4 - Michael Hattersley: The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories
    Jun 19 2023

    Michael Hattersley is a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Warwick with a focus on the psychology behind conspiracy theories.

    Why do many of us entertain conspiracy theories? Are they unfairly dismissed, or should we take some more seriously? When does a conspiracy theory become conspiracy fact, and what are their consequences? Are they just harmless speculation or are some intended to mislead and radicalise?
