- **Event Name**: Apologies for the Past | Yerevan PhD Spring School
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 21 May, 2026 at 09:00 am (+04:00)
- **Event Description**: The PhD Spring School “Apologies for the Past” is a one-week academic program focused on the philosophical analysis issues surrounding the idea of apologies for past wrongs. Calls for public and political apologies for slavery, colonialism, genocide, and historical discrimination are everywhere. They raise questions such as “what can apologies mean?”, “should we apologize for the wrongs of others?”, “in what sense can past wrongs be ours?”, “do collective apologies fundamentally differ from individual ones?” or “how important are apologies compared with other measures to address past wrongs?”. 
The program is organized by 
Laboratory of the Philosophy and Theory of History (Yerevan State University), 
Center for Ethics in Public Affairs (ETICA) (American University of Armenia), 
Hoover Chair in Economic and Social Ethics (UCLouvain)․

During the week there will be four types of activities:
1. Seminar discussions on pre-circulated papers
2. Keynote lectures
3. Individual tutorials on specific chapters of your thesis project
4. Peer-to-peer speed presentations on specific points of student’s PhD project 

The Spring School will be taught by a small group of senior scholars. Confirmed scholars so far:
• Axel Gosseries (UCLouvain, Belgium)
• Maria Baghramian (AUA, Armenia)
• Levon Babajanyan (YSU &amp; AUA, Armenia)
• Valérie Rosoux (FNRS/UCLouvain, Belgium)

If you are PhD student in Philosophy and Social Sciences, working on apologies for the past or related topics and you are interested, please send an E-mail to levonbabajanyan@ysu.am or axel.gosseries@uclouvain.be
