Details

We will focus specifically on contested concepts in political philosophy that are also important to RRI/RI in both its theoretical and practical dimensions. These include: deliberation, democracy, agency, sovereignty, solidarity, openness, responsibility, public/private distinction.  Sessions will be themed by a concept (e.g. responsibility, agency) that will be briefly introduced in the context of RRI by a speaker. A structured discussion of the session theme will follow each introduction, during which all workshop participants are welcome and encouraged to contribute.
