Below is an announcement from the Mansfield Ethics and Public Affairs Program at The University of Montana-Missoula<\/em>.<\/strong> As a student and employee of UM, I studied under and worked with Deni Elliott<\/a> (wiki<\/a>) in the Philosophy department and the Center for Ethics (now the Mansfield Ethics and\u2026). In addition to the courses I took from Dr. Elliott and programs I worked with her on, I also had the\u00a0privilege\u00a0of sitting in on this particular class. Deni is a phenomenal professor (and human being).<\/p>\n

People travel from around the world for this course. If you are interested in teaching ethics and can get to Missoula for a week (it can easily double as a very worthwhile vacation<\/a>), then I would encourage you to sign up \u2013 asap:<\/p>\n
