The dark side of collaboration — when thinking together goes wrong

from Big Ideas · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

At face value, collaboration sounds like a good thing: collaboration in the classroom, with colleagues, or between nations. But throughout history, collaboration was not always considered a virtuous act, and those who were identified as collaborators were shunned, humiliated or worse. This talk explores how people justify their involvement in wrongdoing, and how when collaboration devolves into conformity, it risks silencing dissent.This event was recorded at the Bundanon Art Museum.SpeakerDr Simon Longstaff — Executive Director, The Ethics Centre
