Center for Ethics Kicks off New Series with Interactive Event
The Muhlenberg College Center for Ethics will kicks off their year-long series with the interactive event Mapping the Muhlenberg Landscape: Borders, Boundaries, and Barriers, on Tuesday, September 8, at 7 p.m. in Miller Forum, Moyer Hall.Thursday, September 3, 2009 11:22 AM
The event is free and open to the public. A reception will follow. * Please note: Participants should come prepared to move about the campus *
Designed to highlight the key themes that will define the series, this event is intended to explore the ways in which we define and use space on the Muhlenberg campus to work, play, and live. Attendees at this opening event will be asked to move about the Muhlenberg campus, exploring questions such as: How is space organized on campus? What boundaries exist here? Which spaces are accessible or inaccessible and to whom? Where do spaces intersect? How do our campus spaces function? And perhaps most important, what meaning[s] do these spaces have to us as we use them?
This event is part of the series Ethics of Space: Power of Place, programs that will examine three different sub-themes relating to the concept of “space:” BOUNDARIES, including the invisible, the visible, and the geo-political; CONTROLLING SPACE, considering the differences and overlaps between public and private space, and physical and metaphorical space; and SPACE IN BODIES, which will tackle issues of shared identity, constructing differences, and the spaces between people.
Each year, the Center for Ethics sponsors an intensive series designed to encourage discussion and reflection on a timely, pertinent topic. Center for Ethics programs are free and open to all members of the Muhlenberg campus and the local community. For more information on the series, visit www.muhlenberg.edu/cultural/ethics.
Muhlenberg College gratefully acknowledges the Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation’s support of the Center for Ethics.
