Free lecture series will examine how technology influences morality.

Robert Talisse (Vanderbilt University)
"The same technology that enables people on opposite sides of the world to engage in real time face-to-face communication also enables new possibilities for the collection of personal data, new ways for privacy to be breached, and new avenues for geographically dispersed conspirators to organize and take action, said Robert Talisse, the W. Alton Jones Professor of Philosophy at Vanderbilt University.
These are some of the new, emerging or overlooked moral issues speakers will discuss this spring during the annual Berry Lectures in Public Philosophy.
The three Berry Lectures will be held in 114 Furman Hall and are free and open to the public.
Technology has shrunk the world, but has it made it better?
