Craig is Tata Chancellor's Professor of Philosophy and a Founding Faculty and Co-Director of the Institute for Practical Ethics at the University of California San Diego. He is also part of the Campus Climate Change Committee, which has seen some historic enactment relative to the university and environmental policies. Here he and Andrea discuss disinformation and ethical responsibility within the realms of academia, corporations, and particularly the automotive industry, exploring the broader implications for environmental sustainability and change. Craig outlines the historical challenges of academic freedom versus corporate influence, exemplified by the similarity in various scandals such as those involving the tobacco industry and Volkswagen’s Dieselgate, to discuss the intricate dance between personal accountability and the necessity for structural evolution. The narrative underscores the importance of transparency, the impact of social norms, and the proactive role of education in fostering a sustainable future. Moreover, even as both speakers talk of the importance of vehicles in their own lives and the cars they have loved over the years, the conversation takes a long look at the automotive sector, from its ethical quandaries to the potential of its innovations like electric vehicles, highlighting the delicate balance between economic objectives, environmental stewardship, and the drive towards 'ecological motoring.' Through these discussions, the script paints a multidimensional picture of the quest for integrity and sustainability in an age fraught with challenges. #fossilfuel #funding #university #sustainability #motoring #transportation #ecological #craigcallender #andreahiott #way-making More at https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV2AfcoqBukw9lKZKszv6jvJE2Vz05jk1&si=BSg_VgsGL3VX4eUJ 00:00 Tackling Disinformation in Academic Research 01:41 A Personal Journey Through Motoring Memories 03:11 The Environmental Awakening of a Late Adopter 06:50 Exploring the Philosophy of Motoring and Movement 20:10 The Impact of Fossil Fuel Funding on University Research 24:57 The Complex Web of Industry Influence and Climate Change 28:57 Navigating the Ethical Landscape of Academic Funding 39:17 Reflecting on Personal Responsibility in the Climate Crisis 40:50 Reflecting on Social Norms and Tobacco Strategy 42:01 The Shift in Academic Funding and Social Acceptance 43:04 Exploring the Impact of Fossil Fuel Funding on Academia 43:52 The Power of Social Norms in Changing Behaviors 44:28 Government's Role vs. Social Movements in Public Health 48:44 The Complex Relationship Between Individual and Collective Responsibility 51:23 The Challenge of Structural Changes for Environmental Ethics 56:56 The Role of Transparency and Ethics in Environmental Change 01:03:17 Academic Freedom and the Influence of Corporate Funding 01:09:04 The Interplay Between Freedom, Truth, and Responsibility 01:24:04 Envisioning a Future of Ecological Motoring
