Our Partnerships - Prindle Institute

Better together

Our work wouldn’t be possible without our trusted partners. Together, we collaborate on projects that range from ethics education initiatives to facilitating important quantitative research on ethics in the classroom. Whether it’s working closely with local Putnam County educators or nationally-recognized programs from Harvard University, we value the work we are able to accomplish through a shared passion for ethics education, research, and dialogue.

Association for Practical and Professional Ethics

In 2017, the Prindle Institute for Ethics became the institutional home for the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics (APPE), kicking off a strategic partnership to engage the nation on the critical issues of our time. APPE is an international, multidisciplinary membership association of professionals focused on the practical application of ethics in the classroom, the workplace, government, and local communities. Founded in 1991, APPE is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing practical ethics scholarship, stimulating new research, and promoting innovative teaching methods.

National Ethics Project

We are partnering with Harvard University’s Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, Stanford University’s McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society, the University of South Florida’s Department of Journalism and Digital Communication, and the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics (APPE) on an effort to examine how ethics is taught in colleges and universities across the U.S. through the National Ethics Project. This project is designed to improve ethics education and create ethics resources for higher education institutions. It marks the first major review of undergraduate ethics education since 1980.
