Lecture by Prof. Dr. Ralf Stoecker: Diversity at eye level - On the importance of human dignity for our understanding of inclusion, diversity and participation

As part of the ZAB Accessibility Forum, Ralf Stoecker, Senior Professor of Philosophy in Bielefeld, will be giving a lecture on "Diversity at eye level - On the importance of human dignity for our understanding of inclusion, diversity and participation".

Since 2008 at the latest, when the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities came into force, it should be clear that everyone has the right to live in an inclusive and diverse society in which they can actively participate. However, what this means in concrete terms also depends on how this right can be justified. Why are inclusion, diversity and participation human rights? The answer can be found in the concept of human dignity. Only those who honour these rights respect human dignity. In his presentation, Bielefeld philosopher Ralf Stoecker explains this connection and draws conclusions for various subject areas.

The lecture will take place on June 18 at 7 pm in X-E0-001 and via livestream (in German). We are particularly looking forward to many participants on site for a lively exchange. Further information on the event and accessibility can be found on the ZAB portal.
