The Global Experiences Office is holding our annual international photo contest again this year! There are four categories of photo submissions: The World as Your Classroom; Pitt Pride; “When in Rome”; and Artistic Eye. GEO is asking the Pitt community to vote for their favorite in each category and four winners will be named following international education week. The finalists' photos will be displayed in the Global Hub in Posvar for the Pitt community to vote for their favorite photo through a ballot box displayed alongside the photos. Be sure to visit the Global Hub from 10/17-10/21 to vote for your favorite photo!

Abstract: Dr. Aronson recounts that “in this informal talk, I will focus on a few of the many ethical and moral dilemmas that I’ve faced working at the intersection of social science-oriented research and human rights practice for the past fifteen-plus years. Examples include my obligations to people I am interviewing about very painful moments in their lives (i.e., the deaths of loved ones); feelings of recurring regret (though I’m not even sure that’s the right word) about advancing my own career through the gathering and analysis of other peoples’ suffering; and, more generally, my responsibilities to the people I interact with who are in far more precarious positions than I am. Part of what I hope to accomplish during our hour together is just to clarify the actual ethical principles that underlie what I experience as feelings or thoughts that ‘keep me up at night.’”
