Our Research Fellows
The Center for Practical Ethics holds that the field of ethics has important insights to offer every discipline, industry, agency, community, and person. The center uniquely integrates ethics education, civility, and policy development across all its programs in a holistic approach. Whether it’s involving students in policy work or incorporating industry insights into educational events, this comprehensive approach sets the center apart. Accordingly, we encourage research that supports the integration of ethics, ethics education, and ethical decision-making in a wide range of contexts. The Research Fellows program is a key part of that commitment and represents our effort to acknowledge and promote the work of our close collaborators. Such collaborators extend the reach and legitimacy of our work at the University of Mississippi, in our state, across the country, and globally across academic disciplines.
