I enjoy doing interviews about my work. Here are some you can listen to:
On monarchy and politics – at ABC’s podcast The Minefield.
On care ethics – at ABC’s podcast The Philosopher’s Zone.
On whether the pandemic has revealed the unassailability of utilitarianism – at ABC’s podcast The Minefield.
On the nature of group agents and their duties – at ABC’s podcast The Philosopher’s Zone.
On the moral values that might come out of the coronavirus pandemic – at ABC’s podcast The Minefield.
On which individuals do wrong when an organisation does wrong – at the independent podcast Dialogues.
On collective responsibility – at ACU’s podcast Thinking Philosophy.

I’ve also written articles for media outlets:

I’ve ran sessions with high school students on the ethics of giving to charity, and on the importance of individual action in solving large-scale problems, and on whether individual citizens are culpable for what their states do. I spoke to the Port Macquarie Philosophy Forum about citizens’ responsibility for their states’ actions in October 2019. I spoke to Melbourne’s Lyceum Club about the same topic in September 2020. If you run a philosophy club or community group, feel free to get in touch.

Perhaps the most fun public engagement activity I’ve done was called “Stand-Up Philosophy”, in which two comedians and two philosophers each gave twenty-minute talks on the topic of “Effective Altruism.” You can check out my talk on YouTube.
