The Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University is an interdisciplinary "think and do" tank committed to understanding and addressing real-world ethical challenges facing individuals, organizations and societies worldwide. The Institute promotes ethical reflection and engagement through its research, education and practice in five core areas: Human Rights Archived January 15, 2013, at the Wayback Machine, Global Migration Archived January 15, 2013, at the Wayback Machine, Rethinking Regulation, Moral Attitudes and Decision-Making Archived January 15, 2013, at the Wayback Machine, and Religions and Public Life.
A small sampling of current projects includes an intensive semester-long undergraduate program on forced migration, a new laboratory on moral decision-making, a practitioner-in-residence program, a partnership with a U.N. working group on business and human rights, and a new initiative exploring how faith, citizenship, and the law intersect with processes of globalization.
