Joan C. Tronto, emeritus professor of the City University of New York and the University of Minnesota, and one of the greatest exponents of the ethics of care and democracy, will visit the UAB and offer a conference at the Rectorat building on 10 October at 4 p.m. The conference will be open to all members of the UAB community. Organised by the UAB Department of Philosophy, the conference is entitled "El potencial revolucionario de una democracia del cuidado" and will focus on the revolutionary potential of a care democracy.

In her books Moral Boundaries, Caring Democracy and Who cares?, Tronto details a conceptual approach to care. Her ideas have inspired sectors such as nursing and the processes of humanising health, as well as ethics, sociology and the study of sex division in the workplace, economics, political sciences, and in the art and architectural world, as well as other areas.

The RAWMINA project will be holding its closing ceremony in Barcelona. The event, co-organised by LEITAT and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, ​will serve as an interactive showcase and offers a valuable opportunity to meet with top professionals and create connections, learn from expert speakers and cutting-edge presentations, and discover the latest advances in critical raw material recovery and resource efficiency.

RAWMINA Project

The European Union is facing increasing challenges regarding the supply of critical raw materials (CRM) that are essential for the energy transition; both for the development of renewable energies and for new energy storage systems. To address these challenges, the RAWMINA project was launched in 2021 with the objective of developing an innovative pilot system of sustainable and efficient processes to extract these essential materials from existing mine waste resources.

RAWMINA consists of an international consortium of 19 specialised partners from 10 EU countries, the UK and South America. The project is funded by Horizon-Europe with 9 million euros.

Sara Marañón holds a PhD in Ecology and her research focuses on the effects of global change and the disturbances caused to ecosystems. At the UAB Science Carriage Expert's Seat, she will converse with passengers on regenerative agriculture, which aims to replenish the soil and guarantee that it has enough organic material and carbon to help it continue to be fertile land. Regenerative agriculture is based on the basic pillars of agriculture: soil and its quality, and how this relates to its capacity to store or release CO2.

The journey will begin at 10:42 a.m. on the FGC train travelling from the Universitat Autònoma to the Plaça Catalunya station.

Off the Archeological record is based on the study predoctoral researcher Paloma Zarzuela is conducting in her doctoral thesis, “A history of archaeology. An analysis of the social dynamics and female experiences in the discipline (1975-2020)”, within the framework of the PhD programme in Prehistoric Archaeology at the UAB.

The documentary, directed by Katia Calmet Valle, narrates the recent past of the discipline of archaeology from a gender perspective. Through the personal experiences of very diverse female archaeologists, it analyses the inequalities that are still entrenched and addresses issues such as precariousness, specialisation, motherhood or leadership, factors that influence the continuity (or not) of professional careers.

The event is free and open to the general public.
