On December 7th 2016, the BSI Institute at Radboud University hosted the Media and Morality symposium (NeFCA event). During the inspiring day-long symposium Dr. Allison Eden, Dr. Tilo Hartmann, Dr. Ben Johnson, Merel van Ommen, MSc and Dr. Serena Daalmans discussed their work on morality in film, television and games.
They discussed among other things the presence, popularity and effects of morally ambivalent characters in media entertainment and touched upon how moral violations in various media forms can stimulate self-expansion, moral discussion and reflection.
