Did you listen to Tim Stephens, Elisa Arcioni and Kimberlee Weatherall on whaling in the Antarctic, the next steps last year’s Voice referendum, and the morass of ethical dilemmas that AI can pose for the law? If not, make sure to catch them before the season's close!

@JustCauseUSyd Thanks for widening the audience for this @GreggDCaruso it's an important topic
Discussions about poverty are marred by pervasive myths that lead us to blame impoverished individuals for their own circumstances. In this podcast, @DrAllanMcCay & @jeanettekenne talk about the corrosive effects of these poverty myths upon social policy. open.spotify.com/episode/7Hc…

Many of my fondest memories from @sydneylawschool are of heated debates and deep discussions about moral, legal and political theory in Kevin's classes. I'm so glad that I got the chance to chat with him about his research for my penultimate ep as part of the @JustCauseUSyd team!
