Task Force on Teaching Ethics throughout the Sociology Curriculum
Working with members of the ASA Committee on Professional Ethics (COPE), this Task Force would develop curriculum materials to teach students about professional ethics from early in their undergraduate careers throughout graduate school. The Task Force will develop case materials (some of which exist from earlier COPE work but need updating) and course modules that faculty could include in a variety of courses. The resulting set of materials will be available on the ASA website so they can be downloaded quickly and easily and can be updated. The Task Force will also offer a series of workshops at the ASA and regional sociology meetings to illustrate how these materials can be used.
