Global faculty week 2026 | Open lecture – Universities Facing Cultural Wars by Assoc. Prof. Dr Ainius Lašas, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities
In today’s world of continuous cultural wars, universities face a stark choice: join one side of the barricades, remain politically aloof and neutral or find some other “middle” way forward. In order to solve this dilemma, universities have to turn back to their primary mission – knowledge and truth-seeking or to be more exact, passionate knowledge and truth-seeking. What does that mean? Let’s explore it together.
We are pleased to invite you to a lecture by Assoc. Prof. Dr Ainius Lašas, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Kaunas University of Technology.
The lecture will be conducted in English as part of Global Faculty Week 2026, and is open to both our international guests and the KTU community.
