Annual Community Research Partnership in Ethics (CRPE) program conference

Posted on by

You are cordially invited to attend the annual Community Research Partnership in Ethics (CRPE) program conference.  This year, we had two students, Nadia Zaman and Cindy Yi, participate in the CRPE program.  They worked with our community partners, the Canadian Centre for the Victims of Torture (Nadia) and the Office of the Integrity Commissioner of Ontario (Cindy).  Nadia and Cindy will be presenting their research papers.  Nadia’s paper is entitled “The Ethics of Refugee Limbo” and Cindy’s paper is entitled “The Nature and Limits of Whistleblowing in the Public Sector”.

The conference will take place on Thursday, 12 April, from 2pm until 4pm in Room 200 of the Larkin Building (in the Centre for Ethics).  We hope that you will be able to join us.

Acting Director, Ethics, Society & Law Program, Trinity College Associate & Instructor, Trinity College in the University of Toronto
