Blue Table Webinar: Ethics and Epistemic Intimidation

Globethics Academy Blue Table Webinars 2024 -Beyond Ourselves: Ethics for Futures

We are living in uncertain times. Can ethics assist us in understanding the world as it is and as we imagine it to become? What role do ethics have in shaping our futures? Which responsibilities do we have to assume as humans – beyond ourselves – for future generations and for the planet?

Experts from all over the world, members of the Globethics network and specialists engaged in a variety of areas, such as interdisciplinary research, teaching, community work, publication, entrepreneurship and artistic creation will contribute to the discussions.

This free webinar explores the topic: Ethics and Epistemic Intimidation.

Blue Table Webinar panelist

Bioethics in research has been at the core of Fernández Pinto's research interests as a philosopher of science. Currently, she is working on a project on biases in science, with the aim of understanding the different types of biases that scientists can introduce in their research practices, including those methodological biases that seem to emerge more significantly in commercially driven science. She also has a DFG-funded project together with Prof. Anna Leuschner at the University of Wuppertal on epistemic intimidation, studying how attacks on researchers affect our capacity to produce and disseminate scientific knowledge.
