The dark side of collaboration — when thinking together goes wrong
from Big Ideas · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

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
