Being, Thinking, Doing (Or Not!): Ethics in Your Life

Offered in cooperation with the MIT Philosophy Department (Course 24.191)
Led by Nathaniel Baron-Schmitt  (Postdoctoral Associate in Philosophy) and Patricia-Maria Weinmann (Radius Associate Coordinator). 

Our weekly group discussion-based seminar introduces students to the field of ethics, with a focus on the daily choices we can make to create a more just world. The seminar helps students build relationships, investigate ethical problems, share resources, and clarify their personal and vocational principles. The course also introduces students to the work of guest scholars representing a variety of disciplines, including philosophy, economics, environmental studies, and urban planning.  This class will be held remotely and is limited to 12 students.
