The eighth lecture series Studium Generale - Leerstoel Kinsbergen starts on Tuesday 17 October 2017. The central theme is 'Trust'.
An initiative of Artesis Plantijn University College Antwerp in collaboration with deSingel and Opera Ballet Flanders
Studium Generale
Who would risk blind trust? Are you sceptical about new technology? Or alternatively, gullible when believing a politician? Is every blossoming enterprise a front for corruption and are we sitting ducks for its connivances?
Yet, trust is our key to innovating society, to fresh inspiration, to unimagined art and to advanced science. Who dares to trust?
We asked these questions to a sociologist and to the city's mediation officer, to the country's youngest imam and to two female Protestant ministers, to a physician, a philosopher, a performance artist, etc.
After 7 highly appreciated series such as Boundaries, Passion and Conflict Studium Generale - Leerstoel Kinsbergen chose Trust for its 2017-2018 lecture series.
