The Program on Ethics & Public Life in the Department of Philosophy is sponsoring a public debate series, featuring leading scholars discussing a range of issues from ethical challenges arising from the pandemic to religious exemptions to anti-discrimination laws to the role of the U.S. as enforcer of international order. First event is on October 1 at 4 pm, via Zoom. Professor Rachana Kamtekar (Philosophy) will moderate.
A total of 20 faculty members from eight colleges, including Philosophy Professors Shaun Nichols and John Doris, have been named Engaged Faculty Fellows, committed to advancing community-engaged learning and scholarship at Cornell and within their academic disciplines.
