16th Annual Fall Ethics Symposium: Ethics and the City

All are invited to join the conversation on ethics and the city at this year’s fall symposium, which will be held virtually from Wednesday, September 29 through Wednesday, October 13, sponsored by Cosumnes River College and the Sacramento State Center for Practical and Professional Ethics.

Cities are underrated engines of well-being. But in many ways their performance is handicapped by policy affected by ignorance, inertia, racism, and other forms of inequity. Can the creative and cooperative forces driving cities be made to outpace the effects of such policies? What sort of policies effectively rectify the handicapping forces and encourage the creative forces? Speakers will take up these and related questions from different disciplinary and ideological perspectives.

A detailed schedule, abstracts, and Zoom registration links are available at the Ethics Center website.
