Episode 10 - Dr. Nicole Loring, Part Two
Manage episode 282031219 series 2854148
Welcome back. Today, in the second of three episodes, I speak with Dr. Nicole Loring. Dr. Loring is an assistant professor of political science at Rivier University. We discuss who is Aung Sang Syu Ki and her importance to Myanmar, the legacy of colonialism and the growth of human rights, and the contradictions that are raised by applying principles of universal rights into particular regimes. This conversation raises controversial and intractable problems and we certainly do not provide any answer to them. But exploring the questions themselves is valuable particularly because they ask us, as individuals, how much our values are valuable to us. Exploring these kinds of first principles are essential for worthwhile discussion, but they are also particularly salient in our time because we are having disagreements about first principles.
