• Title: Introducing an Ethos of Care: A Curriculum for Transformational Change in Higher Education
• Abstract: What does it mean to foster a "culture of care" in higher education? How do we reorient our practices to recognize both the systems and structures of institutions and the individuals within them? Using findings from an LAS Dean's Scholar Award and an NSF-funded project, this Cafe Scientifique introduces an online certification program, "The Ethos of Care Credential for Transformational Change" we created to formalize training in care ethics.
