The Applied 道德 Institute
Welcome to the Applied 道德 Institute at Utica University.
The Applied 道德 Institute at Utica University was founded in 1986 and has been affiliated with Utica University since 1987. Under its current director, Professor Douglas Edwards, the Institute promotes public discussion of contemporary ethical issues within the University, professional and civic groups, and the broader community. Its goal is to foster informed assessment of a broad range of ethical issues, including but not restricted to those related to healthcare, business and economics, science and technology, social justice and law, and the environment. The Institute works with students, 教师, 专业人士, and members of the public to sponsor conferences, 研讨会, 研讨会, lectures and media events.
The Institute hosts a colloquium series that consists of public lectures designed to promote rigorous and accessible engagement with topics that are of interest not only to academics, but the larger community. The goal of these lectures is to foster an understanding of many of the ethical issues facing society today.
In addition to these lectures, the Institute forms working groups that produce policy research on various themes throughout the year. The results of these meetings, as well as the published research, are made available to the public.
