October 27, 2021 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm +04

PERITIA Discussions@AUA

About the Event:

The American University of Armenia (AUA) and the University College Dublin (UCD) Center for Ethics in Public Life are jointly hosting the PERITIA Public Lectures [Un]Truths: Trust in an Age of Disinformation. These lectures will feature prominent philosophers and academics from Europe and the United States and will address issues such as trust in science, conspiracy theories, trustworthy science, truth and democracy, and trust and cognitive science.

To further raise interest and increase the impact of these lectures on the Armenian audience, AUA is organizing a related series called PERITIA Discussions@AUA. The discussions are organized a week ahead of the PERITIA Public Lectures. Academics, as well as students in Armenia, will be invited to participate in these discussions. The discussions will also be streamlined via Zoom.

Each discussion will have an invited discussion leader who will analyze the reading. The PERITIA Discussion@AUA will be hosted by Arshak Balayan, AUA lecturer in philosophy.

Registration for the PERITIA Discussions@AUA can be made here.
