      • Ethics and War

        This year we are partnering with a number of departments and programs to launch a series on Ethics and War. The series features philosophers, writers, journalists, historians, social scientists, human rights activists, and policy makers who have grappled with the hard moral questions raised by wars. Our hope is to stimulate campus wide discussion and reflection, research and engagement, on the ethical considerations involved in the decision to go to war, the conduct of war, and the aftermath of war.  For more on this series, click here.

      • Undergraduate Human Rights Fellowships

        In partnership with the Program on Human Rights, we offer up to four summer Human Rights Fellowships. Offered to rising sophomores, juniors and seniors, it is our hope that these fellowships will encourage students to build human rights work into their future careers, whether those careers are in academic life, in governmental or intergovernmental organizations, as activists, or as legal practitioners. Read more.

      • Ethics@Noon

        Most Friday's during the year (from 12:00-1:05 pm), the Center for Ethics in Society sponors an informal "brown-bag" ethics lecture and discussion. These talks attract undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, staff and community members. The talks are informal and there is plenty of time for discussion. Ethics@noon is also a 1-unit course for undergraduates (ETHICSOC 10). For information on this course or on this year's schedule of speakers, click  here.

      • Undergraduate Honors Program: Why Ethics in Society?

        If you like thinking about questions of moral choice and value, deliberating about political and moral challenges which have arisen in our collective life, and researching important local, national and global problems, consider  writing your honors with the Ethics in Society program. We have a good student faculty ratio, a number of our faculty have won teaching awards and their dedication to the program is unmatched. To read more about our honors program, click  here.
