Welcome to our podcast series where we address crucial topics impacting our campus and community.
Hosts: Judi Brown Clarke, Vice President of Equity & Inclusion and Chief Health Equity Officer; and Rick Gatteau, Vice President of Student Affairs at Stony Brook University.
In Episode 1 of Season 3, we talk about where we learn morality, what defines it, and whether it’s subjective or objective. In an interview with The New York Times, President Trump was asked, "Do you see any checks on your power on the world stage? Is there anything that could stop you if you wanted to?" President Trump responded, “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me, and that’s very good.”
We are joined by expert guest:
Andrew Flescher — Professor of Public Health and a Professor of English at Stony Brook University.
