Ethics in the New Civic Square: How Teaching and Practice Can and Should Inform One Another Fri. 11:00 – 11:40am EDT To serve the public in ways that ideally improve lives, public servants must be grounded in empathy, equity, and ethics. Educational programs must teach these topics to positively inform practice and make sure that practice informs pedagogy. This panel features practitioner and academic perspectives in a Q&A-style format. Panelists will discuss how teaching/practicing empathy, equity, and ethics in public affairs increases positive impacts that programs, policies, and practices have on communities. We will emphasize that teaching/implementing these priorities are not optional outcomes but must undergird approaches to public service that consistently center these priorities and related values across the field.

In this annual competition, the three finalists will “pitch” an innovative idea or approach to enhance teaching, learning, or community impact. This year’s challenge focuses on COVID-19 and the related economic crisis. A panel of expert judges from diverse schools and areas of expertise will select the 2020 winner and award $10,000 to launch or further develop the winning innovation.
