The LARRGE Team

The  Centre for the Study of Global Ethics, University of Birmingham (UoB), was founded in 2001, and was the first of its kind in the UK. It was set up to address the practical and theoretical issues raised by globalization. It is multidisciplinary in approach, as issues which are faced today cannot be solved within, e.g. economics, politics or philosophy alone.

Beyond that, it is pluralistic in outlook, as  a  single value framework or belief system is not adequate to every problem; teaching and research in the Centre involve people from several departments, and several cultural backgrounds. Everyone works in some way as a practitioner, or is keen to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Activists and policy makers are taken to be as crucial to the study of global ethics as academics.
