Imagining Ethical Horizons
Old Laboratories, Newnham College, Cambridge
29 October, 10 – 4:30
What if we solved the energy crisis and deployed nuclear fusion energy production at scale? What if we could now universally recycle everything we use? What if we solved world hunger by creating a single complete daily nutrition pill? What if we could manipulate time locally? All of these “what-ifs” sound like they would solve pressing global challenges … but are they actually as good as they sound?
‘Imagining Ethical Horizons’ brings together humanities and STEM researchers to use science fiction-inspired sandpits to explore imaginative and ethical responses to global challenges. Grounded in UKRI’s Framework for Responsible Research and Innovation, the sandpits will promote creativity and play as tools for inclusive, interdisciplinary research development and ethics.
This workshop is organised by the departments of Education, English, and Chemical Engineering, University of Strathclyde.
The workshop is free and lunch will be provided.
