An ethical Christmas reading list

Today is my last official day working at ETI. I wish I could capture the key things I’ve learnt over the last six years in a succinct blog, but that’s impossible. Instead, I thought I would share some of the materials I’ve led, commissioned, overseen or collaborated on to fill your Xmas reading stocking.

If you have a light novel or two to read instead, you could dip into these in the new year when you return to work and could use some information or guidance.
