What should a just and fair education system look like? Explore the question in this upcoming talk.
Dr. Krassimir Stojanov will discuss some of the qualities that philosophers often claim should be characteristic of any just and fair institution. He will then turn to the qualities of just and fair educational institutions, arguing that an education system where teacher-student relationships can be built on empathy and respect is fundamental. Educational institutions, he proposes, should be designed with this fundamental quality in mind.
Refreshments will be provided.
