Case Studies in Ethics
The Case Studies in Ethics align with the Institute’s research and outreach interests. Currently our collection is focused in three areas:
Institutions in Crisis
The Institutions in Crisis case studies have emerged from a larger research project that explores how and why ethical crises arise across a range of institutions: religion, the military, higher education, and business.
Business Ethics
The Business Ethics case studies have been developed and tested in courses for Duke undergraduate students.
Teaching Caselettes
The Teaching Caselettes have been developed for situation-specific training needs, including preparing Duke undergraduate students for ethical leadership and summer service work domestically and abroad.
