Each year, The Murphy Institute’s Center for Ethics invites distinguished academics to present their current work at the Center for Ethics Speaker Series. The CE public lectures serve as a vital platform for intellectual exchange, where scholars and practitioners from a broad range of intellectual and professional disciplines and concerned citizens can engage with pressing ethical questions.
Since 2001, the Center for Ethics has hosted more than 200 guest speakers discussing contemporary topics in ethics. Lectures are free and open to all members of the Tulane community as well as the general public.
The 2024 CE Public Lecture Series featured three internationally known scholars who delivered public lectures at Tulane: Jonathan Simon of UC Berkley’s School of Law, who discussed ways to stem mass incarceration; Beatriz Magaloni of Standford University’s Department of Political Science and Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies investigated humane policing; and Subramanian Rangan of INSEAD, the global business school founded in Fontainebleau, France, who explored how we can restore fairness to the economic system.
