Ethics for Turbulent Times is a six week series of events seeking to make sense of a polarised world, in which many feel isolated, vulnerable, uncertain about the future. In a post-truth world, do we still have ethical standards? We speak loosely of integrity and accountability, but what exactly do we mean? Do our governments, professions, businesses, schools, universities, churches or sporting codes behave ethically? What, if they don’t? This series seeks to explore how ethics can help us deal with climate change, cruelty to animals, discrimination, hunger, war, or any of the unresolved crises of our turbulent age.
