DESCRIPTION:Being aware of the ethical issues that you as a mathematician 
 may face is an extremely important step. But this is only the first in a s
 equence of potential steps. You can take this further\, by starting to tel
 l other mathematicians you work with or interact with. You can try and get
  involved with decision-making processes\, by taking a seat at tables of p
 ower and authority. And you could even work towards identifying the unethi
 cal behaviour of other mathematicians completely unrelated to you\, and ca
 ll out their harmful actions to the community and to the public. This is f
 airly new and uncharted territory for mathematicians\, and they're exactly
  the sorts of activities we shy away from. But now is the time to step up 
 and take responsibility\, because if we don't do it\, then no-one else wil
 l. \n\nThis talk is part 8 and the last session of the seminar series _Eth
 ics in Mathematics_ hosted by the Cambridge University Ethics in Mathemati
 cs Society over Michaelmas. The event will consist of an interactive lectu
 re followed by a discussion session.
