Living Ethics Hangouts with Ariel Cascio

Dr. Dawn Prince-Hughes is an anthropologist, ethnographer, primatologist, and author who is autistic. Join her for an exploration of the importance of autistic self-expression and the culture that grows from it. Those who wish to share their content are free to do so on our private Facebook groups (see below), organically contributing to a growing autistic culture.

Ethics refers to the study of good and bad. Key ethics questions include “what is the good life?” “How do we achieve a good life?” “What do we owe one another?” and “What should we do?” To answer these questions, we can think about things like values, preferences, harms, and benefits. There are often no easy answers. In these ethics hangouts, we will chat informally about everyday ethical issues that impact autistic people. Each hangout will center around a specific topic and meeting times will vary.
