Adjunct professor Joshua Lewis spent 35 years in venture capital and private equity and has a doctorate in philosophy from Oxford. He brings that experience and knowledge to bear in a new course he developed for Tuck called Moral Reasoning: From Machiavelli to The Bomb to AI. In it, he blends classic moral philosophy with real and fictional protagonists to inspire students to contemplate and discuss ethical decision-making in a variety of contexts. In this episode, Lewis talks about the genesis of the course, his teaching style, and some examples of the protagonists the students study. Two students, Leen Ajlouni T’25 and Ryan Montgomery T’26 also share their thoughts on the course.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
