This is a reminder for:

Title: Peter Bowden
The Teaching of whistleblowing

Peter Bowden will present a case that that the teaching of whistleblowing   
is a near- obligatory demand on those  responsible for applied ethics  
courses in our universities and in the workplace  . The empirical evidence  
is incontrovertible   that blowing the whistle wrongdoing is, despite its   
many problems, effective in stopping illegitimate activities. Overcoming a  
widespread negative or at best indifferent attitude in ethicists and moral  
philosophers is necessessary if students are to learn how to use the ever  
expanding systems of whistleblower protections safely and successfully. The  
talk will be based on his recent book "In the Public Interest"
http://www.tilde.com.au/product/in-the-public-interest-protecting-whistleblowers-and-those-who-speak-out/

Why Australian systems are not up to international standards and the  need  
for additional research will be a second part of the talk.
