Abstract of Nergis Canefe presentation:
This
webinar will discuss capitalizing the scholar’s responsibility as a
witness, maximizing its potential and benefits for institutional and
social change, and tracing and teaching an ethics of witnessing in its
most adequate and resonant forms. Overall, if we are to defend a theory
of ethics that is focused on the scholar’s role in enhancing human
dignity and rights against all odds, we must start with providing a road
map for our students. The webinar provides case studies and examples of
engaged research in dealing with humanitarian crises, rights abuses and
in general situations of gross human vulnerabilities.
