Episode 14: A Female Philosopher and a Philosophy of Consent with Julia Fraser

This episode is a discussion with an ex-student, Julia Fraser, who runs our Philosophy Club, a co-curricular activity in the Secondary School. Julia speaks about the purpose and focus of the Club and the benefits of talking about some of the big philosophical questions addressed there. She also shares her personal perspective and experience of consent and how our world view may impact our responses. I hope this discussion might be helpful among the current topics being discussed in our government and media. Please do note that some people might find some aspects of the latter part of this podcast distressing as Julia talks about matters of consent.
