The Center for Ethics and Human Values is Ohio State's trusted partner in navigating dialogue across differences, and facing tomorrow's challenges together.
Our democracy depends on building civic trust through improved mutual understanding and shared problem-solving. We can make headway on the pressing problems that we face only if we’re able to talk about them openly, vigorously, and respectfully – especially when we disagree. Our Civil Discourse for Citizenship program trains students and faculty in doing just that.
CEHV's Conversations About Research Ethics (CARE) program provides a space for researchers of all disciplines, and at all stages of training, to engage with the ethical challenges they face in their everyday lives as researchers. Our multidisciplinary community seeks to go beyond questions of compliance and understand what it really means to conduct research with ethics and integrity.
Since its inception in 2011, the CEHV's Conversations on Morality, Politics, and Society (COMPAS) program has provided our campus community with a variety of opportunities to hear from experts within and beyond OSU about the complex ethical challenges facing our society.
Faculty, staff, and students in our ETHOS Fellowship are invited to discuss the significance and application of OSU's Shared Values Initiative in their work and cultivate those values in their home units through project support and matching funds from CEHV.
For Students
Coursework
CEHV offers formal curriculum and training to interested students through ARTSSCI 2400(E): Conversations on Morality, Politics, and Society, where they are introduced to the principles of civil discourse and freedom of speech and develop the skills required for constructive communication across differences. Students who want to go deeper into these issues are invited to enroll in the Civil Discourse for Citizenship Academic Certificate, a 12-credit hour program which builds on ARTSSCI 2400(E) through elective, discipline-specific coursework, or the Philosophy, Politics, & Economics major taught and led by CEHV faculty.
Co-curricular Certificate
The Practicing Civil Discourse for Citizenship Co-Curricular Certificate Program provides students with the opportunity to develop the same skills as they do with our Academic Certificate but in a more flexible and personalizable way. Participants earn points towards this Certificate through qualifying coursework, event attendance, and participation in a wide range of programming.
Community
CEHV supports multiple student organizations across campus, including the Civil Discourse Society, the PPE Society, and The Ohio State Ethics Bowl Team. CEHV's regular "Dorm Dialogues" also provide students with the opportunity for conversation and community around the genuinely difficult ethical challenges that arise in the day-to-day lives of undergraduate students living in residence halls.
