André Santos Campos on “Democracy and Future Generations. Should the unborn have a voice?”
You are invited to join a new reading group on Democracy and Intergenerational Justice, under the EPLAB research project “Present Democracy for Future Generations” (PTDC/FER-FIL/6088/2020). Each month, the group will meet to discuss a published paper, or work in progress related to the project’s theme.
The first session will be hosted by André Santos Campos (NOVA University Lisbon), who will be presenting a paper by Ludvig Beckman called “Democracy and Future Generations. Should the unborn have a voice?”, J.-C. Merle (Ed.), Spheres of Global Justice (Vol. 2, pp. 775-788). Berlin/Paris: Springer.
