| Teaching bioethics |
|
The Center for Bioethics at U Penn is doing a LOT—most of it free to teachers. They're planning to have a (free) one-day workshop in October for teachers teaching or interested in teaching bioethics at the high school level. For further info on their programs, go to http://www.highschoolbioethics.org (recommended August 09 by CSEE trustee Jane Rechtman, who has gone to these workshops in the past and reports good things about them) |
Difficult Dialogues:
resources on using dialgoue for community growth |
|
This link is to a selected reading list, with a number of helpful articles on using the power of dialogue. Difficult Dialogues is a program to promote academic freedom and religious, cultural, and political pluralism on university campuses in the United States. DD projects address a wide range of substantive areas, including: fundamentalism and secularism, racial and ethnic relations, the Middle East conflict, religion and the university, sexual orientation, and academic freedom. (recommended August 09 by CSEE consultant Michele Israel) |
| NY Times: David Brooks on George Washington's character (2009) |
|
David Brooks addresses the issue of a "dignity code," based on the same premise as the nation’s Constitution: human beings are flawed creatures living "in constant peril of falling into disasters caused by their own passions. Artificial systems have to be created to balance and restrain their desires." A good discussion issue for students. Do they agree? Recommended July 09 by CSEE trustee Devereaux McClatchey |
