DRS Makes Moral Case for Saving Planet

At an event held on Nov. 16, academics from the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University came together with colleagues and the community to discuss the ethical implications of taking action to combat climate change.

“The Moral Case for Saving the Planet: Regional Perspectives” was a joint effort by BU Global Programs and the Division of Regional Studies (DRS), which includes the African Studies Center, the Center for the Study of Europe, the Center for the Study of Asia, the Latin American Studies Program, the Institute on Culture, Religion and World Affairs, the Institute for the Study of Muslim Societies and Civilizations, and the Middle East and North Africa Studies Program.

Statement on Diversity and Inclusion

The Center for Latin American Studies at Boston University is proud of BU’s history of diversity and inclusion. BU’s founders opened the University’s doors to all students without regard to religion, race, or gender, and building and sustaining a vibrant community of scholars, students, and staff remains essential to its mission of contributing to and preparing students to thrive in, an increasingly interconnected world.

Success in a competitive, global milieu depends upon our ongoing commitment to welcome and engage the wisdom, creativity, and aspirations of all peoples and the Center for Latin American Studies is vital to the University’s mission of preparing global citizens. We forge concrete initiatives to integrate faculty and students across the university in the promotion of antiracism, diversity, and inclusion from a Latin American Studies perspective. Through our in-depth and interdisciplinary academic programs, as well as through a rich array of talks, lectures, round-table discussions, conferences, and other educational and cultural events, we assist the University in its efforts to create environments for learning, working, and living that are enriched by racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity.

At the Center for Latin American Studies, we believe in and practice respect for individual differences in life experience, sexual orientation, and religious belief, and we aspire to be free of intellectual parochialism, barriers to access, and ethnocentrism. We appreciate and deeply value the contributions and talents of every member of the Boston University community and invite you to learn more about us.
