The Bowl: A Model for Discussing Tough Questions in Ethics

Posted by Angela Brcka for University Libraries

Join us for a public screening and interactive discussion of "The Bowl," a documentary that explores the Michigan High School Ethics Bowl competition.

Western Michigan University has proudly participated in intercollegiate Ethics Bowl competitions since 1998, and faculty, graduate students, and alumni have been active in the Michigan High School Ethics Bowl. This event will also feature past WMU team members demonstrating how the competition works—where teams research case studies and present well-reasoned arguments on complex ethical issues.

Whether you’re curious about ethics, interested in debate, or looking for inspiration for student projects, this is a great opportunity to connect with others in our community.
