The seminar sets out to explore the global challenges, such as gender inequality, inadequate education, effects of climate change and access to clean water, from the perspective of humanities and asks how this perspective can contribute to increasing justice and equality around the world.
The seminar will take place on Saturday, the 11th of March from 13:00 to 16.30, in the Festival Room (Hátíðasalur) of the Main Building of the University of Iceland.
The seminar will be held in English, it is free of charge and open to the public. We encourage all friends of UNU-GEST and those interested in addressing the global challenges towards equality and justice to drop by.
