In collaboration with the UVM Philosophy Department's Public Philosophy Week, I am pleased to announce we'll be holding two discussions on ethical issues relevant to policing:
- Thinking of opioids as infectious viruses has interesting implications about how doctors and the police should view opioid addiction and respond to the opioid epidemic. It raises questions of agency, responsibility, personal identity and what the best public health interventions might be under this model. I'll be at the Hotel Vermont this Monday, April 30th at 6:30 to discuss all of this with UVM public health researcher Andrea Villanti, Ph.D., and our audience.

- Predictive algorithms can help police and the courts be more precise and effective in their work, but they raise concerns about fairness and due process. How they are written and how the are used matter. Join me and UVM philosopher Randall Harp at the Guild Tavern on Tuesday, May 1st at 6:30 PM to discuss these ethical issues and take questions from the audience.

We hope to see you there!
