This seminar explores tools and strategies that faculty members from any discipline can use to genuinely integrate ethics into their own courses. Intentionally applying these practices fosters students’ ability to identify fundamental ethical issues within a field, consider different reasoned positions concerning them, and responsibly engage in critical conversations surrounding them. Participants will experiment with a few ethical theories that can help situate critical issues within their discipline, work on structuring learning activities that engender ethical discussions, and practice facilitating difficult conversations; finally, they will design or revise an assignment that assesses student progress on ethical reasoning in their course.
Apply here for the seminar by Friday, April 29th.
You will be notified of the status of your application by Friday, May 6th, 2022.
