Center for Applied Ethics and Humanities
Engage in Ethics at Santa Fe College
The Center for Applied Ethics & Humanities at Santa Fe College (SF) serves the college and the community, promoting the values of honesty, integrity, and civility, as well as individual, social, and global responsibility. It fosters appreciation for ethical reasoning and encourages and supports active engagement with ethics and humanities in our communities – in thought and action, in word and deed.
In Word & Deed Podcast
In Word & Deed is a podcast produced by the college that highlights the role that ethics play in our everyday lives. The first season, "Dinner Table Dynamics," features current and former members of SF’s nationally ranked Ethics Bowl team and fellows in the Intercollegiate Civil Disagreement Partnership. They encourage listeners to practice civil discourse as they head home for the holidays, and into extended family discussions. Share your thoughts (and actions) related to the podcast on social media with @santafecollege using #InWordAndDeed.
Accessibility Note: To view the transcript for any of our podcasts, please visit our media host's website.
