A Space to Talk About Hard Things

The award-winning National High School Ethics Bowl teaches students how to thoughtfully engage with divisive topics — and with one another.

 

Is it OK to “ghost” someone you’ve been dating? What is the value of objectivity in journalism? How should government officials communicate information about COVID-19?

These questions are just a few of the topics presented to students during the National High School Ethics Bowl (NHSEB), a program that hosts regional bowls and then a national event each April in which teams discuss real-life ethical issues. The program is part of the Parr Center for Ethics in the Department of Philosophy.
