EHE faculty to collaborate on ethics, human values research
Five Education and Human Ecology faculty are founding members of the Center for Ethics and Human Values, one of Ohio State's new Innovation Groups to advance interdisciplinary, issues-based research.
The Innovation Group will receive $20,000 yearly for a three-year period, and has the potential to grow into a larger Center for Innovation.
EHE faculty in the Center for Ethics and Human Values are Ann Allen, Bruce Kimball, and Bryan Warnick, all in the School of Educational Policy and Leadership, and Michael Glassman and Sarah Schoppe-Sullivan, both from the Department of Human Development and Family Science.
They and 30 more faculty members from 11 colleges will develop Ohio State's capacity to address emerging ethical issues in all areas of life. In addition, the group will facilitate ethics instruction at both undergraduate and graduate levels, promoting an "ethics across the curriculum" approach to ethics education.

Ohio State selected two centers and three groups as the first of what will be a multi-year, $16.7 million investment by the university in research that tackles global issues. Education and Human Ecology faculty also are leaders of the two Centers for Innovation, which will receive $750,000 yearly for a five-year period: the International Poverty Solutions Collaborative and the Food Innovation Center: Foods for Global Security, Safety, and Health Promotion.
