In the roundtable, Prof. Dr. Nader El-Bizri (Department of Philosophy, American University in Beirut) and Assoc. Prof. Edward Alam (Department of Philosophy and Theology, Notre Dame University, Lebanon) are going to talk on the variegated forms trust takes in democratic societies and the relationship between trust and democratic dialogue with the project coordinators, Hikmet Kırık (Istanbul University), Zeynep Direk (Koç University) and Spyros Sofos (Center for Middle Eastern Studies, Lund University). A discussion with the attendees will follow.
The partnership aims to foster academic debate and cooperation as well as practical interventions in order to meet the multitude of challenges polarized, divided or fragmented societies such as the Turkish one are facing, and to work towards establishing a ground upon which an open, tolerant and inclusive society, and the development of shared horizons among citizens can be built.
