The Prindle Institute for Ethics will become the new institutional home of Teaching Ethics, the peer-reviewed journal of the Society for Ethics Across the Curriculum (SEAC), beginning in January 2027. Alex Richardson, Associate Director of Content Strategy and Engagement at the Institute, has been named Editor in Chief of the publication.

Teaching Ethics is the field’s primary venue for scholarship on ethics pedagogy across disciplines, publishing work by philosophers, educators, and practitioners in medicine, law, business, engineering, and the social sciences. The journal has been central to the development of ethics education as a scholarly field since its founding.

The Prindle Institute is well-positioned to serve this new role. The Association for Practical and Professional Ethics (APPE), the world’s largest professional ethics organization, has been housed at the Institute since 2017, and Richardson currently serves on its Board of Directors. That existing relationship with the broader ethics education community, combined with the Institute’s continued investment in scholarship and resources for educators at every level, makes the new partnership with SEAC a natural fit.

“The scholarship that Teaching Ethics publishes is a vital part of how the ethics education community learns to do its work better,” Richardson said. “Bringing the journal to the Prindle Institute means it will have the editorial infrastructure, institutional support, and community connections it needs to grow.”

As Editor in Chief, Richardson will oversee peer review, solicit submissions from across disciplines, and work to expand the journal’s readership and visibility. He plans to broaden outreach to ethics educators in professional and applied fields, explore thematic issues on emerging topics in ethics pedagogy, and use the Institute’s established digital presence and conference partnerships to reach new audiences. Richardson brings extensive editorial experience to the role. At the Prindle Institute, he leads the editorial strategy and production for the Institute’s full portfolio of publications and media, including The Prindle Post, the Examining Ethics podcast, and the Teaching Children Philosophy collection.

The institutional move will take effect in January 2027, following the release of the journal’s Fall 2026 issue in partnership with its current home at Clemson University. More information about Teaching Ethics and SEAC is available at seac-online.org.
