UC San Diego Changemaker Institute in partnership with the Institute for Practical Ethics (IPE) presents a 3-part quarterly webinar series focused on Global Ethics of today’s most pressing issues, such as climate change and advances in genetic manipulation.

In observance of Global Ethics Day on October 21, and the upcoming 2020 election, the first session will focus on the Global Ethics of Affirmative Action. With the upcoming ballot initiative in California – which seeks to overturn the current ban on granting preferential treatment to persons on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in public employment, public education, and public contracting – this important discussion will delve into the ethics of the issue.

Join us for a panel discussion, anchored by Marisa A. Abrajano , Interim Provost UC San Diego-Warren College & Professor of Political Science, and student advocate, Laura Zwicker (UCSD Alumna ’19, currently PhD, Yale School of the Environment)
