Content

There is a difference between knowing the practicalities of crisis management/response and knowing what should be done, ethically speaking. This course will provide students with the following: an appreciation of ethical theory/principles; the skills to apply ethics in a crisis and make justifiable decisions; an ability to critically analyse/advise professionals on the application of ethics in crisis scenarios.


Sessions will cover a range of disaster/crisis ethics topics. Many of the topics covered under the umbrella of disaster ethics are distinct disciplines in themselves – climate justice, environmental ethics, humanitarian response, normative ethics – and will serve as an interdisciplinary bridge for students coming from different disciplines or backgrounds.
