The first in-person session of the seminar "Contemporary Ethical Debates," coordinated by Professor Soledad Paladino, took place on March 25th as part of the Humanities Studies Program. This same seminar will be offered asynchronously online starting in April for all university faculty members who wish to participate.

The complex contemporary scenario invites us to rediscover the value of Ethics as a safeguard of humanism and a compass towards the happiness that all men yearn for.

Within the framework of our University's mission, this seminar's main objective is to reflect on some current ethical issues concerning various disciplinary areas such as law, politics, anthropology, the business world, health, and social communication.

It will be a good opportunity for us to learn together and enrich ourselves with each other's complementary perspectives through a fruitful exchange.
