AB, University of California at Berkeley; BD, MA, PhD, University of Chicago LLB, College of Management Law School, Tel Aviv, Israel; PhD, Boston University Ethics has become a real hot-button issue in recent years. From the stem cell debate to well-publicized cases of misleading corporate accounting, concern for the moral aspects of business, medicine, and public policy is growing exponentially. “We are here to meet society’s need for people who can combine technical proficiency with an understanding of the larger moral and political questions raised by their work,” says program director Nir Eisikovits. “Mastering the biological intricacies of genetic germline engineering is one thing. Fully understanding how such technology would alter our idea of what it means to be human is quite another.” Trained as a lawyer and a philosopher, Eisikovits has had a good deal of experience in bridging the gap between theory and practice. In addition to teaching legal and political philosophy at Suffolk, he has worked at the DA's office in Tel Aviv, and is a resident fellow at the International Center for Conciliation, an NGO committed to mediating ethnic conflict between groups that have opposing views of history. He brings the same dual focus to his research on political reconciliation and the ethics of post-war transitional arrangements. His writings have appeared in numerous scholarly journals as well as in the Boston Globe, the Boston Herald, The Miami Herald, The Forward, and In These Times. public management department Michael T.
