För tre års sedan startade en grupp rättssociologer företaget Finja Five. Med barnkonventionen som ledstjärna skapade de en kostnadseffektiv datorlösning som fungerar även i skolor utan egen teknisk kompetens.

Finns det objektiva, universella kategorier som bestämmer vad som är vackert, gott, skönt? Eller är smak bara uttryck för ett individuellt tyckande som ständigt förändras? Den 20 novmeber tog höstens andra Debatt i Lund sig an denna delikata
