Report Thanks to the support of Research School Plus, I was able to participate in a conference at University Collegg I ondon. The conference theme was The buck stops where? Responsibility in the globai ..onoäy . This topic was particularly important to me since I ve just completed my phD+hesis in philosophy at tle chair of appliedethics on the same subject. In my thesis, I concern myself with tt. -o.ui issues of so-called-sweatshops , i.e. factories in developing countries which pädo.. apparel, clothing, and electronics for Westem corporations. Participating in this conference provided äe wiin tfre opport l+ity to present some of my findings to an international, high-class äudience (the keynote wäs delivöredty Etzabeth Ashford, one of the most distinguished moral philosophLrs to äate) and to discuss thäm in-depth with other experts in my field of research. www.alsp.eu
