Episode Synopsis
Our interviewee is Amrei Bahr, a philosopher specialising in applied ethics, aesthetics and the philosophy of technology at the University of Stuttgart. She is one of the co-founders of the university policy initiative ‘I am Hanna’. We talk about her research on applied ethics. She criticises the current open access publication system, which she believes is still a financial burden for many researchers. Bahr also emphasises the ethical problems of global waste management, in particular the harmful conditions in the recycling of electronic waste in Ghana. She argues in favour of a more differentiated approach to recycling and calls for better working conditions in academia, referring to her campaign against fixed-term contracts.
