FASPE Information Session (Virtual)
FASPE is an intensive, two-week study program in professional ethics and ethical leadership. FASPE is neither a Holocaust studies course, nor a genocide prevention program. Rather, the curriculum is designed to challenge Fellows to critically examine constructs, current developments and issues that raise ethical concerns in their professions in contemporary settings where they study and work. FASPE Design and Technology (D&T) Fellows examine the motivations and conduct of technologists and designers in enabling and executing Nazi policies. FASPE then draws on these historical examples to help D&T Fellows grasp their role and responsibilities as designers of built environments; and to encourage them to identify and confront ethical issues currently facing architects, engineers, designers, and other technologists today.
