Livmedelsetik

Kursens syfte är att fördjupa studenternas etiska kompetens, både generellt och i relation till livsmedelsproduktion och -konsumtion. Kursen ges på distans med webföreläsningar, men även föreläsningar, seminarier och gruppövningar i realtid. Därtill kommer individuella skriftliga uppgifter. Efter en introduktion till normativ etik undersöker vi och tillämpar dessa etiska resonemang på olika frågor inom livsmedelskedjan, reflekterar över globalisering och klimat, vilken roll den sociala, kulturella och religiösa kontexten spelar och kring pro/contra användningen av GMO etc. Slutligen skriver studenterna en individuell uppsats om valfritt ämne inom livsmedelsetik. Examinationen baseras på aktivitet under seminarierna och de skriftliga uppgifterna.

Hi food ethics-students!

Food ethics is an important theme in today's society, and it is a pleasure to note the course is full, and also has a waiting list.

For some reason it is not classified as 'distance course' on the course page, but the course is held entirely online with meetings in real time (IRT). We will meet for lectures, seminars and you will also hold small-group discussions at fixed points of time according to schedule (please see prel. version on this site).

Please also note that since it is a full time course, one need to count on spending about 40 hrs per week with reading, IRT-meetings and writing.

Looking forwars to meeting you all!

Best,

Helena Röcklinsberg,

Associate professor in ethics
