In Australia, however, this understanding and incorporation of First Nations TEK of shellfish aquaculture and coastal management is in its infancy. In contrast to Australia, in Aotearoa (New Zealand), there is a rich history of knowledge of shellfish, understanding of cultural practices and the use of stories and ancestral sayings. We reviewed the current state of incorporation of TEK of shellfish in both Australia and Aotearoa. We find that TEK in Aotearoa has improved aquaculture and provides evidence of the value of incorporating TEK in the production of shellfish. We are only now just beginning the journey in Australia to understand and document TEK and practices held by First Nations people. Aotearoa provides valuable lessons on the importance of TEK and guidance for the respectful incorporation of TEK into shellfish aquaculture and coastal management in Australia. If we are to appropriately restore and manage our coasts, then we need to incorporate First Nations Australians knowledge, and respect and protect their connections to traditional sea management.

I reveal the extent to which an agent must also be responsive to the uncertainty and mistaken beliefs of others. Drawing on Signalling Theory from economics and biology and extending it to the moral domain, I show that an information asymmetry can exist between an agent and an observer resulting in the agent?s actions being ?morally ambiguous?: even the actions of a conscientious moral agent can look impermissible from an observer?s point of view. This paper provides a systematic exploration of some of the ethical dimensions of such information asymmetries: how moral ambiguity is morally consequential and thus, in turn, how normative signalling is a matter of moral responsibility. Highlighting the informational value of ethical action, I demonstrate that, like justice, ethics must be seen to be done.

Professor Sven Bernecker ?The Memory of Morals? Thursday 14 April 2022 | 15:00-17:00 SAST | 13:00-15:00 GMT Zoom registration: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAudeirqjgoHN23HAU16_1_DNyeeD3Wv1Uv Live: Faculty of Humanities Common Room C319, University of Johannesburg Abstract Why is it absurd to claim that you have forgotten the difference between right and wrong? The answer to this question sheds light both on the nature of moral knowledge and the nature of memory. Someone who knows the difference between right and wrong cares about what is right and wrong. Patterns of caring can change over time, but these changes cannot be characterized as forgetting. Remembering what is right and wrong involves not only semantic but also episodic and procedural memory. Bio Sven Bernecker is Humboldt Professor of Philosophy at the University of Cologne and Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Irvine. His main areas of research are epistemology, metaphysics, and philosophy of mind. He is the author of Reading Epistemology (Blackwell, 2006), The Metaphysics of Memory (Springer 2008), and Memory (OUP 2010). He is co-editor of Knowledge (OUP 2000), Companion to Epistemology (Routledge 2011), Handbook of Philosophy of Memory (Routledge 2017), Medical Knowledge in a Social World (Synthese Vol. 196, 2019), and The Epistemology of Fake News (OUP 2021).

I'm writing to let you know that Steve Bland, an epistemologist in Canada, is going to be visiting Macquarie in May to preview and receive feedback on his forthcoming epistemology book. I will be hosting a set of pre-read workshops on the book on May 9, 11, and 13. The topics to be discussed are epistemic interactionism (between person and situation), reliabilism, responsibilism, social epistemology, and concerns raised by the replication crisis. We will meet in the afternoons (room TBA). If you or anyone in your circles would like to attend, please let me know. I hope this will turn out to be a nice opportunity to hear about cutting-edge research and to meet someone who isn't normally in Australia.
