California Center for Ethics and Policy

Established in 2018, the California Center for Ethics and Policy investigates pressing national and global challenges—such as climate policy, healthcare, housing insecurity, artificial intelligence, immigration, and racism—through a Californian lens. How do these challenges impact Californians in all their diversity and complexity, and how might California take the lead in overcoming them? Each year the Center draws together students and faculty from throughout the university to think critically and creatively about a particular theme, in dialogue with local and national leaders in ethics and policy. The Center also offers a full slate of broader community-based initiatives, including Election Fairs and reading groups—on campus, off campus, and online.
