6th International Conference on Ethics Across the Curriculum
Oregon State University
Corvallis, Oregon
Directors:
Courtney Campbell
David Keller
Theme: Ethics and Organizations
Most of the professional literature in ethics focuses on the decisions of individual actors. Yet the students we educate in various disciplines will eventually find themselves pursuing vocational careers within various organizational and institutional settings, e.g., academia, public regulatory agencies, health care provider organizations, legal firms, financial groups, research laboratories, and corporate entities. How can ethics education effectively address both the moral responsibility and accountability of individuals within organizations as well as the ethical accountability of organizations themselves?
