    Larissa, Brazil, and sustainable development

    How can 'hard-to-abate sectors' come together to develop a low-carbon future? What is the role of the BRICS, especially Brazil, in global environmental and climate governance? What role do you foresee for the BRICS in international climate change negotiations? How to improve energy access and the switch to renewables while reducing inequalities to make the energy transitions just and fair? Larissa Basso will discuss with us these relevant issues that are often left out of the discussion. Check out Larissa's bio: https://www.su.se/english/profiles/lade5584-1.418852

    Neelke, ethics, and water engineering

    Why is it important to include an ethical analysis in the process of developing new technologies? What does an ethical analysis of engineering reveal compared to an analysis which does not consider ethical, philosophical, or moral dimensions? These are the type of questions that are discussed in this episode, for which I have invited prof. Neelke Doorn from TU Delft. She is distinguished Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Professor of ‘Ethics of Water Engineering’ at the Department of Ethics and Philosophy of Technology. Furthermore, she is the Director of Education of the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management.

    What are the main drivers of public debate when it comes to social media? Why are social media especially controversial today?

    Stephan, media control, and digital surveillance

    What is the difference between surveillance in the offline and the online world? To what extent are we leaning towards a social (super) scoring system that determines many aspects of human life? In this episode, I want to talk about some issues that are present in our daily lives without being noticed; i.e. media control and digital surveillance. During my conversation with Prof. Dr. Stephan Packard, I talk about surveillance in postdigital societies and the future of media control.  Check out Stephan's bio: https://mekuwi.phil-fak.uni-koeln.de/en/stephan-packard
