While research offers us the chance to generate new ethics-related knowledge in particular topic areas and education allows us to promote ethical reflection, deliberation, and commitment in formal settings, “practice” is what enables us to engage with on-the-ground ethical issues in order to serve society’s needs.

Our practice can take a variety of forms. At Duke, we engage students in practice through extracurricular activities. Practice can also take the form of curricular innovations to best convey information through formal educational settings. Beyond Duke, we partner with businesses, think tanks, non-profits, and policy-makers on a local, national, and international level.

Our current areas of practice include the following:
Brookings-Duke Immigration Policy Roundtable
Bhutanese Resettlement Project
Character Education
Campus Grants
Academic Integrity Council
Honor Council
