In this seminar, three academics from the Nanzan University Institute for Social Ethics in Nagoya, Japan, will explore the relevance of the Landcare model, which has been practiced in Australia for many years. They will examine this model through the lens of autonomy and the principle of subsidiarity, offering insights and discussions on how Landcare can be analyzed and modeled from a social ethics perspective. Dr. Kaz Kagohashi, an expert in ecological economics; Dr. Steve Mere, who specializes in international law and theology; and Dr. Taro Okuda, a philosopher, will invite participants to engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue about Landcare.

The seminars will be followed by a panel discussion and networking event.

Time/Date: 1:30pm-3:30pm, Wednesday 6/08/25
