She discusses the ways in which criminology and psychology help us understand cybercrime, how business structures hide our humanity, and how misinformation can turn into false memories.

In this lively and thought-provoking talk, Dr Shaw encourages us to think deeper about morality, and how we can adapt our leadership and use technology to help overcome some of humanity’s greatest threats
