ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½

The Maguire ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ for Ethics and Public Responsibility seeks to encourage teaching in the area of ethics. The field of ethics is a traditional subdivision of philosophy and religious studies, but is an important part of a broad range of disciplines and professions.

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½’s Ethics Toolbox: A Course Module

The Maguire ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½’s Faculty Advisory Committee consists of selected senior faculty members from ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ at Dallas. The committee provides invaluable assistance to the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½'s director in setting priorities and carrying out the Maguire ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ programs.

From the center's earliest years, we have showcased the university's most exciting scholars in our Public Scholar lecture series. Many of the Public Scholar lectures have been published (in slightly revised form) as Occasional Papers of the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ or as episodes of the Ethics ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½’s podcast Sound Ethics.

Between 2013 and 2018, the Ethics ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ hosted the Faculty Incentive Grant Program, a funding opportunity for ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ faculty to enhance academic quality and reputation of the University, improve teaching and learning, and strengthen scholarly research and creative achievement.
