Discussion Lunch with William Sullivan, Author of Work and Integrity: The Crisis and Promise of Professionalism in America
William Sullivan is a senior scholar at The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching whose writings include Work and Integrity: The Crisis and Promise of Professionalism in America; Good Society; and the co-authored Habits of the Heart: Individualism and Commitment in American Life. What are the obligations of doctors, nurses, lawyers, scientists, accountants, and other professionals to be citizens of their communities as well as experts in their fields? How can they best be prepared to act as "moral agents" rather than to succumb to the temptations that have resulted in so many recent scandals? What values do individualism and self-interest serve in a democracy? What are the obligations of professionals in a capitalist, global society? This lunch is co-sponsored by the Wells Scholars Program. William Sullivan's visit to campus is sponsored by the Poynter Center for the Study of Ethics and American Institutions. He will be giving a public lecture, "Professionalism Across the Professions: The Public Role of Professional Education," at 4 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 2, in Jordan 124. |
