It’s a rare occasion when scholars from varied disciplines meet with business leaders, non-profit leaders, laywers and professionals to discuss doing the right things. That’s what happened last month at the “Evolving Perspectives on Ethics” conference at the University of Richmond.

“Ethics is at the heart of leadership. For centuries, philosophers have exchanged opinions about right and wrong but only recently have scholars collaborated to integrate their research in fields such as sociology, psychology, social justice, leadership studies, business and the law,” said Dean Sandra J. Peart of the Jepson School of Leadership Studies.

Keynote speakers and panelists addressed many themes, including respect, collaboration and identity.

The Evolving Perspectives on Ethics Symposium is a collaborative effort of the Jepson School of Leadership Studies, the Robins School of Business, and the University of Richmond School of Law at the University of Richmond in Richmond, Va. The symposium is made possible by a grant from the Richard Davoud Donchian Foundation, dedicated to “building the framework for intelligent, ethical and compassionate leadership.”
