On Wednesday 12 February, 18.00 – 21.00 at the Spiegelzaal (Grote Gracht 80-82), UM AGORA will host a soirée on ‘Rethinking Innocence in Intercountry Adoption‘.
Attendance is free, but registration is desired. To register, please send an email to agora-fasos@maastrichtuniversity.nl before Saturday 8 February. All welcome!
Intercountry adoption used to have the humanitarian aura of saving children from the developing regions in this world. But is the practice really this innocent? Lies Wesseling (Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences) and Elvira Loibl (Faculty of Law) will tackle this issue from historical and criminological perspectives. The discussion will be moderated by André Klip (Faculty of Law).
Soup, sandwiches and soft drinks provided. Music by TTBB Rhythm Section.
