I am happy to speak to the media about my research or about ethical issues more generally. I often speak about ethical issues related to sexuality and technology, as well as ones related to life, politics and public policy in Manitoba and in Canada.
I have spoken frequently to the media about ethical issues related to the pandemic, including whether we should report neighbours who violate lockdown, whether countries should adopt vaccine passport systems, and how healthcare systems should triage patients for critical care.
You can find some of my interviews about my research, the pandemic, and other ethical issues below.
