RAW ETHICS
Who’s allowed to be heard in our society? And who has the time, access or power to listen?
Raw ethics challenges three emerging thinkers to blindly grapple with each other’s unique provocations, surrounded on all sides by you. From animals in parliament, voyeuristic trauma consumption, and YouTube journalism, join our brave researchers as they draw on the expertise of their field, revealing what’s needed for constructive and collaborative thinking.
