Complex ethical decisions often need to be made quickly and effectively over one's career. The increasingly globalised nature of work--of diverse workplaces, multiple agendas, different engagements across communities, government and the market, and changing social expectations--means that professionals face a range of ethical dilemmas within profoundly shifting dynamics. Such challenges are at the fore in fields such as development, humanitarianism, security and governance, where practical matters of justice, dignity, geopolitics and human security are central to both the objectives of organisations and the ways they operate.

Drawing on real and hypothetical scenarios from professional practice in diverse global environments, this course integrates theory and practice in an applied, multidisciplinary approach to important ethical challenges.
