Integrating Ethical Codes and Concerns in Multiple Disciplinary Teams: A Roundtable Discussion

Integrating Ethical Codes and Concerns in Multiple Disciplinary Teams: A Roundtable Discussion

Guest speakers:

Samantha Dempsey (Upstream Health Innovations at Hennepin County Medical Center) and Ciara Taylor (UpLift Data Partners)

Sponsored by

The Center for the Study of Ethics in the Professions (CSEP) and  the Stuart Business School through the Faculty Innovation Award Bottom-Up Ethics: Real World Training for Professional Practice

Although most students have some exposure to ethics education through their university programs, the opportunities to apply ethics training in real world circumstances are rare, especially for those who will eventually work in multiple disciplinary teams where members may have different levels of training in, and interpretations of, what constitutes ethical practice. As the pace of innovation increases and new areas of scientific, design, and commercial practices emerge, conventional ethics education may be insufficient for situations that students will encounter in their professional careers.

The goal of this roundtable is to begin a conversation about ethics in situations where multiple perspectives – those of clients, diverse set of team members, and stakeholders - create a need for thinking about the complexities of ethical issues. Please join us for an open discussion with Samantha Dempsey and Ciara Taylor, creators of Ethics Quest and The Designer’s Oath on Monday, Oct. 23rd from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm in the MTCC, Faculty Club, in Room 106.

Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP by October 19th by email to laas@iit.edu
