Please join the Center for Ethics in Society on October 3rd, as Dr. Annabel Beerel examines the role of courage in both institutional and personal life. 

We begin with a discussion of the escalation of corporate crime over the past five years, the scale of employee involvement and the consequences to both individuals and society. This follows with an exploration into how courage is commonly understood, and why so many people were and are complicit in blatantly unethical behavior. What inhibits or detracts them from taking the courageous path of not engaging in ethical misdemeanors and/or whistleblowing? Through discussions and case studies we examine why we struggle to be courageous and wherein lie the major inhibitors.
 
The event will conclude with a discourse on a normative framework for defining courage and with examples of how we can strengthen our own capacities for courage. 

We invite you to participate in this time of courageous self-reflection. (Please note, dinner is included with this event.)

From the memories of getting his teeth kicked out by bullies at age five, to flea marketing with his loving grandmother, to his first sexual relationships, this young-adult memoir weaves together the trials and triumphs faced by Black queer boys" (GoodReads.com).

We will host a book discussion of "The Vanishing Half" by Britt Bennett.

"The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' storylines intersect" (GoodReads.com)?

Copies of "The Vanishing Half" will available at the Circulation Desk for SAC Students, Faculty, Staff, and Monks to borrow 4 weeks prior to the meeting date. 

We hope to see you there.

Students and faculty at Saint Anselm College are invited to join a respectful conversation touching all sides of a challenging issue -- specially selected by Saint Anselm students themselves.

Debate Topic: Is Climate Change an Individual Responsibility or Government Action?

Braver Angels debates are not competitive, but a collective exercise in civil discourse. Conducted in a light parliamentary format, they teach students to engage respectfully around difficult and divisive issues. Students think together, listen carefully to one another, and allow themselves to be touched and even changed by each other’s ideas. Participants walk out with greater empathy, courage to express their own views, and appreciation for diversity of thought.

Sponsored by the New Hampshire Institute of Politics and the National Governors Association, this collegiate debate is free and brought to you with the support of a partnership of Braver Angels, BridgeUSA, and the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA), non-profit organizations that believe in the power of free expression and respectful exchange of ideas on America's college campuses.

Registration Details:

Registration for this debate will be closed just prior to the scheduled starting time of 4:30 PM on Tuesday, September 12.

Pizza will be provided!
