The Right to Move? Debating the Ethics of Global Migration |
||||||
| December 12, 2009 - December 13, 2009 | ||||||
| Room 1702, 17th Floor, Building 2, Sophia University | ||||||
Do people have a right to live where they want? This is one of the fundamental ethical dilemmas of a global society. Is there a fundamental "right to move?" Conversely, how do we justify limiting this right? And how do we conceptualize the ethics of migration generally? Crossing disciplinary boundaries and the border between academia and public life, this conference brings together philosophers, sociologists, political scientists, legal scholars, and policy makers. This will be a two day event with paper presentations and Q/A on the first day and an open-ended roundtable discussion on the second day. This symposium is organized and sponsored by Sophia University Institute of Comparative Culture and Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. Short essays from the symposium will be published online in a special issue of Policy Innovations, an online journal of the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. |
