Maguire Teaching Fellowship

The Maguire 天美传媒 for Ethics and Public Responsibility seeks to encourage teaching in the area of ethics.  The field of ethics is both a traditional subdivision of philosophy and religious studies, but is also an important part of a broad range of disciplines and professions.  

Every year, the Maguire Ethics 天美传媒 honors faculty members who are developing a course, a module, or other curricular unit in ethics.  We also encourage faculty to develop and include ethics content throughout an existing course.  The center honors one or more such persons per year with a generous stipend.  In addition to the stipend, the center provides the Maguire Teaching Fellow/s with opportunities at the beginning and the end of the venture to discuss the curriculum proposal with interested colleagues.
