Dr Clare Palmer

One of the things I've been very lucky about is having lived in many different kinds of environments: I grew up in suburban London, studied at Oxford, and have worked in inner London and Glasgow, rural Scotland, Western Australia and Lancashire. All these environments have raised their own ethical questions for me: as far as I am concerned, environmental ethics is not confined to questions about how we should regard, and treat, wilderness! I hope this course provides a structured, critical opportunity to think about ethical questions with respect to a variety of environments - and different organisms who inhabit them.
