Teaching Ethics with the Holocaust
Thursday, March 4, 2010
4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
An event as significant as the Holocaust resonates across all academic disciplines. Of particular interest to students and teachers are the ethical questions raised by Nazi genocide. This workshop will explore historical situations, ethical theory, and case studies to provide teachers with a toolkit of teaching strategies and approaches for exploring the Holocaust in greater depth. Presentation will be involved, but the workshop will rely primarily on small-group interaction, applications, and discussion.
