Private and Professional: Where is the Line? | Bert van den Brink and Klaas Landsman

from Radboud Reflects, verdiepende lezingen · host Radboud Reflects, verdiepende lezingen

[Dutch follows English] To what extent should scientists speak out politically? Where is the line between speaking out as a private individual, and speaking out in your role as a scientist? Should members of the academic community be extra careful when navigating political topics? Can what you say and do privately influence your professionality as a university employee, or is it naive to think you can separate the scientist from the human being? Listen to political philosopher Bert van den Brink and mathematician Klaas Landsman and reflect on the line between private and professional in political discourse.
