Originally launched in 2006 as a joint effort by the UM Alumni Office and Business Ethics Programs, the Ethics in Film Series provides an opportunity to discuss thorny ethical issues. Quickly expanded to include the School of Communication in 2007, and also supported by Arsht Initiatives funds, the Ethics in Film Series has become a popular annual event, free and open to the public as well as members of the UM community.
Films showings are followed by commentary from faculty and/or community experts. Audience participation is encouraged, in what usually makes for a lively debate and intellectual exchange. Screenings take place at 6:15 p.m. in the Bill Cosford Cinema (Cosford Auditorium) on the Coral Gables campus. Snacks are provided starting at 6:00 p.m. Look for announcements of screenings in eVeritas and eUpdate.
