Global Ethics Network
Rethinking International Relations.
Carnegie Council's Global Ethics Network provides a platform for educational institutions around the world to create and share interactive multimedia resources that explore the ethical dimensions of international affairs.
The Network facilitates the development of new pedagogical tools, curricula, and partnerships between students and educators across the globe. In doing so, the Network encourages current and future generations to think in new ways about the ethics of today's global challenges.
How it Works
The Global Ethics Fellows and their home institutions form the heart of the Network. They are developing multimedia production facilities that will allow Network partners to record original content created by students and educators. The Network combines existing Carnegie Council resources with their institutions to ignite new ideas and foster lively debate on such subjects as human rights, conflict resolution, and environmental sustainability.
The Network's educational resources include:
- Live streaming and videoconferences featuring original Carnegie Council content;
- Class exercises, lesson plans, and faculty development;
- Joint lectures, symposiums, and conferences.
By using these resources, students and educators from across the Network conduct independent research and promote ethical inquiries within their communities. Students from the Middle East can record interviews with experts in New York City, while educators in Southeast Asia can collaborate on online curricula with colleagues in Oregon. Through such collaboration, the Network enables its partners to rethink their moral assumptions.
Maximizing Impact
The Network's conferences, lectures, and discussions are recorded, edited, and disseminated by the Carnegie Ethics Studio. Select Network products are shared with our media partners, including C-SPAN, CUNY TV, Forum Network, and MHz Worldview Channel. In addition, Network-produced content is posted on Public Radio Exchange, YouTube, iTunes, iTunes U, and our websites. The Network's educational products thus reach a global audience numbering in the millions.
