Collaboration on Love & Justice

On Friday 22 April 2016, our CoE collaborated with the CoPassion project and the Social Ethics Forum in organizing a one-day seminar on the themes of love and justice, which are also highly relevant research topics from a recognition-theoretical perspective.

Anna Salonen, Anne-Birgitta Pessi and Risto Saarinen

participated in a panel discussion

After the opening panel discussion, we heard various presentations by Jaana Hallamaa, Anne Birgitta Pessi & Henrietta Grönlund, myself, Risto Saarinen, Pauli Kettunen, and Ville Päivänsalo.

Between the presentations, the participants worked in groups, discussing themes related to the overall topics of the event and the talks of the individual speakers.

On the whole, the day was both interesting and inspiring in various ways. It was also nice to see that so many of our CoE members contributed to the event in the roles of organizers, speakers, and participants.
