Welcome to the Department of (Social) Ethics!

We explore ethical questions in the interplay between society and technology. We research how new technologies change social life foms and institutions and how to responsibly shape these changes. By using empirical  and analytical-hermeneutic methods we evaluate social norms or concepts. We examine how they can provide orientation or need to be innovated and rethought. By this we develop options for behavior and action for the social dealing with new technologies.

Research Stay in Oslo

In March 2023, Eva Maria Hille spent a research stay at the University of Oslo. Together with her hosts Dr Jenny Krutzinna and Prof. Dr Elisabeth Staksrud from the research group "Children, Youth and Media", she wrote a short commentary entitled "Understanding one's own illness - How the use of contactless sensors in healthcare could influence children", which you can read below.
