What should we talk about?
In my new position with the @ANTITH3SES at @Ethox_Centre of the @UniofOxford , I will be working on this seemingly simple question that gains importance and complexity in the context of polarization, radical moral disagreements, and uncertainty. I am particularly interested in developing new methods and tools to engage with these disagreements in health-related topics and bridge diverse actors across science, the public and policy.
You are welcome to pause, reflect on the seemingly simple question and share your thoughts about what we should talk about and how we should even approach this question.

Blog on 'UK End of Life Bill: exploring dissensus through discussion'. We explored alternative ways of framing the conversation on assisted dying, focusing on finding shared values & meaning rather than debate & division.
