Abstract:
Scholars have considered the issue of how intolerance might be converted to tolerance - how it can be “unlearned” - although most results are discouraging. In his presentation, James L. Gibson will review the various mechanisms by which intolerance might be unlearned. He will pay particular attention to the role of universities in this process, and to the many controversies that currently threaten to undermine a culture of tolerance within the academy.
Der Vortrag wird auf Englisch stattfinden. Im Anschluss wird es die Möglichkeit geben, Fragen zu stellen.
Eine Anmeldung ist nicht notwendig. Auf Anfrage ist eine Teilnahme via Zoom möglich.
