Description

What does it mean to approach development ethically—not just in theory, but in practice, amid complexity, power dynamics, and imperfect systems? In this episode, Dr. Duncan Green shares reflections from years of experience in the sector, challenging us to rethink what ethics means in day-to-day development work.

Spoiler: he doesn’t see himself as an “ethical person”—and maybe that’s the point. Ethics, as we explore here, is often shaped by context, relationships, and the messy realities of practice.
