New episode of Ethics Untangled out today featuring IDEA's own Matilda Carter, asking: how should we care for people with dementia? This is an episode that really might fundamentally change the way you think about something important. It did for me.

Looking forward to listening to this. Competence, consent and parental decision-making for disabled children is territory I think about a lot
As always, please spread the word and leave us a review if you enjoy what we're doing.
It's a hugely rich resource with lots to recommend it for philosophers, clinicians, policymakers and anyone interested in a concept which is central to so much of our political, civil and personal lives.
Lots to pack into one episode, but I hope we do justice to the key ideas in the book - the Ethics of Consent: an Introduction, which you can get here: www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/1...
In the current episode of Ethics Untangled, guest Danielle Bromwich discusses the ethics of competence to consent. The conversation is based on Danielle's excellent new book, co-written with Joseph Milum of the University of St Andrews.

We sat down with CLSR and @idea-leeds.bsky.social academic Dr Danielle Bromwich to chat about her upcoming book with Dr Joseph Millum, The Ethics of Consent - out 23rd Feb!!🚪📚
Give it a listen on for a snappy overview, an insight into co-authoring with friends, and Danielle’s hopes for the readers💕
Tareeq Jalloh takes on a related question in a paper recently published in the Journal of Ethics and Social Philosophy. Check it out here: doi.org/10.26556/jes....
More AI this week! Also responsibility and conceptual engineering. Really enjoyed this conversation with @ftollon.bsky.social and @enricogalvagni.bsky.social.
Great conversation with Tareeq Jalloh available now!
Should pornography be authentic? Some people think so, and partly because they think this would make it better ethically rather than just, well, better. Rosa Vince disagrees!
New paper with Georgie Mills: The Ethics of Cancelling. We argue that cancelling covers a range of moral practices. It is not always punishment, it can instead involve correcting reputations, ending parasocial relationships or relationships of informal representation. Read more here: rdcu.be/e4jay
Really enjoyable conversation in today's episode with @lisamherzog.bsky.social, on a topic which is important and pressing in all sorts of ways....
Really pleased to say Tareeq is a guest on an episode we have coming soon!
Feels like a good time to be releasing this episode featuring Jeffrey Howard of
@uclspeechlab.bsky.social. How should social media platforms regulate AI-Generated Content? (Spoiler: it's not by allowing people to use AI to create non-consensual sexualised images.) www.buzzsprout.com/2113237/epis...
Is being more politically active on your list of resolutions this year?
Today's episode of Ethics Untangled features Josh Hobbs of Inter-Disciplinary Ethics Applied asking the question, should we all be activists?

Hope you had a good break if you had one, and are looking forward to a fuliflling 2026.

One of the criticisms sometimes levelled at that group is that their approach to doing good tends to ignore the political and structural dimensions of suffering. This conversation with Josh focuses much more on those dimensions.
Among other things, it's an interesting counterpoint to the episode from before Christmas with David Edmonds, which focused on Peter Singer and the Effective Altruists.
In particular, Josh is interested in the way the existence of global structural injustice creates obligations, and how people can fulfil those obligations.

The New Yorker has (rightly!) listed Death in a Shallow Pond - the subject of my discussion with @davidedmonds100.bsky.social on the latest Ethics Untangled episode - as one of the best books of 2025. www.newyorker.com/best-books-2...
Shallow Pond is on Ethics Untangled. Thanks to Jim Baxter and the Ethics Centre at the University of Leeds @princetonupress.bsky.social www.buzzsprout.com/2113237/epis...
Enjoy! And also, please tell your friends! And leave us a review! Etc.!
Following the shape of his new book - press.princeton.edu/.../death-in... - we started by describing Peter Singer's famous 'shallow pond' thought experiment and then spent the rest of the conversation exploring its implications.

A great, wide-ranging conversation with davidedmonds100.bsky.social on today's Ethics Untangled.
And when I say 'Simon Meisch', I do of course mean bsky.app/profile/simo...
We focused on one particular comic book series, Heartstopper (tapas.io/series/Heart...). Aside from enlightening me about that series, Simon makes a convincing case that this is a good way to get at a range of ethical issues, in a way that is complex, subtle and grounded in recognisable situations.
Instead, we talk about a particular way of highlighting ethical issues and encouraging discussion of them. That's through engaging with serial narratives, including comic books and TV series...
