EDUCATIONAL ETHICS: A FIELD-LAUNCHING CONFERENCE

About EdEthics 

EdEthics

EdEthics at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics is building a global field of educational ethics, modeled after bioethics, that is philosophically rigorous, disciplinarily and experientially inclusive, and both relevant to and informed by educational policy and practice. We work with educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders to support ethical inquiry and learning through long-term partnerships, course offerings, workshops, and professional development sessions. We write and disseminate cases and other resources on justiceinschools.org, lead empirical and philosophical research initiatives, and support a growing network of scholars and students in educational ethics. In collaboration with these partners, EdEthics aspires to bring about more ethical educational systems, institutions, policies, and practices. Connect with us.
