This is the introduction to the refreshed “Food Ethics” MOOC, now available on Princeton Coursera. It was produced by Lance Harrington and Lisa Jackson.
The “Ethics of Eating” course that I taught for many years at Cornell with Will Starr was produced as a MOOC on EdX.org in 2016 (it’s now available in an updated form on Coursera). Here is the EdX promo video produced by Serge Petchenyi and Roberta Militello.
Sam Newlands and I co-directed a multi-year $5m grant on Hope and Optimism: Conceptual and Empirical Investigations (there’s a healthy dose of Despair and Pessimism too). Here is our promotional video, produced by Leah Hayes and Peter Brant.
