The dark side of collaboration — when thinking together goes wrong

At face value, collaboration sounds like a good thing: collaboration in the classroom, with colleagues, or between nations.

This talk explores how people justify their involvement in wrongdoing, and how when collaboration devolves into conformity, it risks silencing dissent. This event was recorded at the Bundanon Art Museum. Speaker Dr Simon Longstaff — Executive Director, The Ethics Centre
