Suffering-Focused Ethics Seminar

This eight-week seminar involves weekly one-hour discussions with your three to six-member cohort and one facilitator. Before attending each discussion, you’ll complete a set of readings (and sometimes a written exercise). For updates, please subscribe to our mailing list and join our Slack.

The seminar is an intensive and rewarding semester-long program for students to learn about suffering-focused ethics, which encompasses a variety of ethical views that place moral priority on mitigating suffering.
