      • Ethics and War

        The Ethics and War series is now in its second year. The series, sponsored by a number of units on campus, continues to feature 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, as well as 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.

      • Hope House Scholars Program

        Since 2001, the Program in Ethics in Society has been sponsoring humanities courses at Hope House, a residential treatment facility for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. More than 25 courses have been taught by Stanford faculty on topics such as Philosophy, Ethics and Social Justice, Theories of Human Nature and Women's Rights. These classes have been taken by over 200 women, many of whom have never been exposed to college level study. In 2009, our partnership with Hope House received a Community Partnership Award from Stanford’s Office of Public Affairs and in May 2011 we will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Hope House Scholars Program.

      • 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.

      Spencer Foundation Project: The Center for Ethics in Society has long championed student and faculty research that places normative and social science approaches in common inquiry.  Our new three-year grant from the Spencer Foundation will permit us to continue this work with a special focus on questions about education theory, policy, and practice.  In combination with faculty and students from the Law School, the School of Education, and H&S, we hope to launch a series of new initiatives under the Spencer grant, and we welcome participation from the entire Stanford community.
