Stephan, media control, and digital surveillance

How can 'hard-to-abate sectors' come together to develop a low-carbon future? What is the role of the BRICS, especially Brazil, in global environmental and climate governance? What role do you foresee for the BRICS in international climate change negotiations? How to improve energy access and the switch to renewables while reducing inequalities to make the energy transitions just and fair? Larissa Basso will discuss with us these relevant issues that are often left out of the discussion. Check out Larissa's bio: https://www.su.se/english/profiles/lade5584-1.418852

How will COVID-19 impact EU Trade Policy in the long-term? Why has the EU-Mercosur trade agreement taken over two decades to be finalized? What current challenges will shape the future of the EU?

This is Global Perspectives, the multi-disciplinary podcast that discusses local, national, regional and international issues from a global angle. In this introductory episode, Donna Marie Mlyneck is introduced as the new co-host of the podcast.

Why is it important to include an ethical analysis in the process of developing new technologies? What does an ethical analysis of engineering reveal compared to an analysis which does not consider ethical, philosophical, or moral dimensions? These are the type of questions that are discussed in this episode, for which I have invited prof. Neelke Doorn from TU Delft. She is distinguished Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Professor of ‘Ethics of Water Engineering’ at the Department of Ethics and Philosophy of Technology. Furthermore, she is the Director of Education of the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management.

What are the main drivers of public debate when it comes to social media? Why are social media especially controversial today? Can we perceive social media as replacing printed press and television? What makes online social media so different from previous media platforms? These are some of the questions dealt in this podcast episode, for which I interviewed Dr. Frederik Ferreau from the University of Cologne.

What is the difference between surveillance in the offline and the online world? To what extent are we leaning towards a social (super) scoring system that determines many aspects of human life? In this episode, I want to talk about some issues that are present in our daily lives without being noticed; i.e. media control and digital surveillance. During my conversation with Prof. Dr. Stephan Packard, I talk about surveillance in postdigital societies and the future of media control.  Check out Stephan's bio: https://mekuwi.phil-fak.uni-koeln.de/en/stephan-packard
