ETHICS AT EMERSON
In one way or another, Emerson College has always been devoted to the study and practice of ethics. Indeed, the founder of Emerson College called for communication that made a moral difference in society, not for communication that we might call “value-free.” To this day, the College’s mission statement, curriculum, and several departmental objectives reflect the importance of ethics and of training students to make wise ethical decisions. This display features a selection of recent ethics books and articles, including works authored by the following Emerson faculty members:
•Jeffrey Seglin (Writing, Literature and Publishing)
•Elizabeth Baeten (Communication Studies/Philosophy)
•Tracey Stark (Communication Studies/Philosophy)
•Greg Payne (Communication Studies)
•Jerry Lanson (Journalism)
•Manny Paraschos (Journalism)
•Tom Cooper (Visual and Media Arts & Communication Studies/Philosophy).
A new “Ethics Circle” comprised of these faculty and any other interested Emerson faculty and administration will begin to meet this fall to consider Emerson’s ethics curriculum, mission, teaching, and research. To honor their initiative and to encourage you to consider the importance of ethics in a world both captivated and victimized by Bernie Madoff and Enron, we draw these books, issues, and the courses taught by these professors to your attention.
