NSF Ethics Assessment Workshop

In early August of 2019 I was part of a workshop funded by NSF and tasked with making some progress on a very difficult issue—assessing the effectiveness of ethics training. Over the course of a few days we brave souls (about 30 in total) discussed issues ranging from the goals of ethics training, the incentive structures in the academy, the limitations of measuring moral judgment, and what it means to validate an instrument in the context of ethics training. The results will be published in various forms and presented at the 2020 Association for Practical and Professional Ethics conference in Atlanta, Georgia.
