FELLOWSHIPS AT AUSCHWITZ FOR THE STUDY OF PROFESSIONAL ETHICS

Talia Bloch, FASPE

FASPE is a fellowship program that challenges young professionals to develop as ethical and responsible leaders. In a modern civil society, professionals play a critical role in shaping public discourse and in influencing policies in both the private and public sectors. FASPE impresses upon its Fellows the impact of their roles as professionals. FASPE is now accepting applications for its 2019 programs.

Fellows begin their examination of professional ethics by studying professionals in Nazi Germany, whose failures as ethical leaders enabled devastating policies. Against this historical backdrop, Fellows then consider the ethical issues currently facing professionals in their respective fields, including how to identify and respond to such issues.
