Programs and Events
The Mudd Center welcomes distinguished lecturers throughout the year to speak on ethical issues. Students, faculty, and staff attend these lectures and jointly reflect on current ethical issues prevalent in our society.
Memory, Mind, and Morality
2026-2027
Our 2026-2027 series will explore the ethical dimensions of memory. Rather than treating memory as a passive record of the past, the series examines it as an active, interpretive process that shapes how individuals and communities understand responsibility, identity, and justice. Because remembering is inseparable from forgetting, the yearlong program offers opportunities to reflect on how acts of remembering and forgetting—and the choices they entail—shape the moral contours of our lives.
