Learn about ethics pertaining to the treatment and care of (non-human) animals within research, law, policy, and the clinical setting. Explore recent cases, discuss ethics theories, and learn a framework to integrate ethics within programs, policy, and law on animals. We close the program with a discussion of how participants can become more involved in animal ethics through research, associations and conferences, education, and academic forums. Online lectures and discussions are complemented by optional live sessions with faculty, and partial scholarships are available. By Yale Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics.
