EDITOR'S NOTE

We always knew that Ethics & International Affairs articles are widely used in classrooms, but when Assistant Editor Adam Freeman did a survey this January, we were amazed at what he found. Journal articles appear over 850 times in syllabi—in universities across the world, not only in the United States—and these are just the ones we know about.

"This list represents only a fraction of what's really going on with our materials in the (mostly undergraduate) classroom," says Adam. "Not all universities and professors make their syllabi available online; and not all syllabi that were once available stay available."

How do you use our resources?  Are you a journal subscriber or do you read selections online? Do you download our audio podcasts?  Do you catch our YouTube clips? Do you watch our videos online, or read our transcripts?

Is there something else you would like us to provide?

We would love to hear from you. Email Madeleine Lynn.
