Discussion of Further Integration of Ethics |
Professors
McPhee and Dundorf have been exploring a learning community at North
Campus which would include the Critical Thinking/Ethics course (PHI 2604).

1.
A Philosophers'
Panel to debate known ethical topics from various
philosophical frameworks. The debate could be held on all campuses and
involve students and faculty. The panel would include cultural perspectives as they relate to ethical decision making.
2. Developing a team approach to discussion. Discipline experts and philosophers on the same panel. The discipline experts would bring the content the philosophers the ethical/critical thinking component to the discussion. |
