Van Hasselt Lecture | Peter Railton

The annual Van Hasselt Lecture addresses topics around ethics, peace and justice in our technological age. The lecture was named after Frans van Hasselt, a student in Delft, who denounced the firing of Jewish professors at the university in a public speech on the 23rd of November 1940. He was arrested by the occupying forces and perished at Buchenwald concentration camp two years later.

Keynote speaker is Peter Railton, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

The Van Hasselt lecture is organised jointly by the department Values, Technology and Innovation of the Faculty of Technology, Policy & Management and Studium Generale TU Delft.
