Past Programs
Team Kenan is constantly trying new programs to get students thinking and talking about ethics. This section houses one-time or occasional projects as well as series that we aren’t working on at the moment.
The Politics of…
This two-part series examined smaller issues at the intersection of ethics and politics in the Fall 2012 semester. Election years tend to dominate news with political stories in a narrow sense. Team Kenan attempted to broaden conversations on politics by examining the ethics of political speech and organization at the current historical moment. Globally, nationally, and even at Duke, political discussions provide fertile ground to talk about ethics. Read the series overview here.
Eat Your Ethics
This occasional series focuses on two opposing viewpoints offered by experts over a meal. The last instance was Farmworkers’ Rights and Fair Food at Duke
iThink: An Ethics Cafe
Team Kenan’s series of conversations on eclectic topics. iThinks are meant to be intimate affairs, with attendance ranging from 15-25 students, plus between one and three faculty panelists. See information on past talks here.
The Life of Memorials: Manifestations of Memory at the Intersection of Public and Private
This gallery exhibit and associated talk examined the memorials and the way collective memory changes with time. Coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, the exhibit focused on the many ways we remember as well as how contested and complicated memory can be.
