Ethically Speaking:
Ethical Issues in Public Life

Ethically Speaking is the annual lecture series of The Center for Practical Ethics. Students, faculty, and staff are invited to hear from a public intellectual with something important to say. This lecture series aims to cultivate reflection and civility and to demonstrate just how practical and how central to the life of a university ethical considerations can be.​

This year, on April 11, we'll feature Dr. Brandon Warmke speaking on his book "Grandstanding: The Use and Abuse of Moral Talk". See chapter summaries and discussion questions at the link below.
