Audience and Approach
The audience for this program is intended to be diverse, spanning the
full range of academic faculty. This workshop recognizes that many
research ethics issues are relevant to the practice of a wide range of
scholarly and creative activities in the hard sciences, engineering,
social sciences, and humanities. To ensure the value of this program to
a diverse audience, each of the planned sessions will include some
lecture, but also a workshop format designed to result in concrete,
discipline-specific strategies and plans.
