Lecture Series
The program will run from January to October 2023 and will consist of a monthly online lecture delivered by an internationally renowned scholar along with the opportunity to openly exchange ideas in the usual subsequent Q&A session.
These events aim to provide a platform to highlight ongoing endeavors by many scholars to engage crucial energy issues from the perspectives of ethical reasoning and reflection. The main goal is to expand work done in energy ethics by exploring different normative ethical perspectives as they may apply to energy, climate, and environmental issues.
