The ETICA inaugural research workshop on topics arising from Professor Wolff’s numerous publications held on April 22. It included six sessions, during which individual researchers presented their work on topics of ethnicity, politics, and policy. Professor Wolff opened the session with his presentation, “New Technology and Emotional Intelligence,” followed by ERA Chair and ETICA Director Professor Maria Baghramian’s “Reflections on Trust and Governance.”
The afternoon sessions further deepened the dialogue with contributions from Dr. Jean-François Caron, the C. Judson King Endowed Visiting Professor at AUA, on “The Ethical Civil Servant”; Dr. Arshak Balayan, on “Who Knows Enough to Wage a Just War?”; ETICA researcher Dr. Xintong Wei on “Is Revolutionary Violence Justified?”; and Dr. Bill Wringe of Bilkent University, on “Who Can Violate a Human Right to Health? (And Why Does it Matter?).”
The workshop concluded with a discussion among participating scholars, emphasizing the importance of academic collaboration on pressing ethical questions.
