Environmental Health Ethics Initiative
The Center for Ethics is developing an initiative on environmental ethics through a focus on environmental health. The initiative encompasses scholarly research, teaching, and public outreach and education. This collaborative effort draws upon Emory's expertise in medical and health sciences ethics, Emory’s dedication to sustainability, and its strong faculty resources in environmental health.
The planning group for the initiative includes Emory faculty and administrators from the Rollins School of Public Health, the School of Medicine, the School of Law, the Woodruff School of Nursing, the Sustainability Initiatives, the Environmental Health and Safety Office, the Department of Environmental Studies, and other academic programs.
