Recent Projects
The “Ethics of Eating” course that I taught for many years at Cornell with Will Starr will soon be available in an updated form on Coursera. Here is a promo video produced by Serge Petchenyi and Roberta Militello.
Sam Newlands and I recently 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.
