Program in Ethics and Public Affairs
The Program in Ethics and Public Affairs advances the study of the moral purposes and foundations of institutions and practices—both domestic and international. PEPA promotes teaching and research that bring the perspectives of moral and political philosophy to bear on significant issues in public affairs.
PEPA sponsors the James A. Moffett ‘29 Lectures in Ethics, a lecture series open to the entire University community; a faculty-graduate seminar that provides an intensive intellectual forum for discussing the work of faculty members, graduate students, and invited guests; and other events.
The Program in Ethics and Public Affairs (PEPA) is co-sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy.
