Description

This valuable classroom resource explores a number of issues in social and environmental ethics and provides resources for engaging in ethical reflection about them. Nine cases explore issues like population growth, material consumption, and climate change; water rights and species conservation; genetic engineering and food security in Sub-Saharan Africa; hydraulic fracturing and greenhouse gas reduction options; and mountaintop coal removal mining and fossil fuel divestment. Utilizing the tried-and-true case method approach pioneered by the Harvard Business School, the case studies present material in a clear and relevant fashion and allow instructors to select discrete issues for study and discussion.
