Comprehensive Exams: Applied

My applied ethics reading list for the Ethics area of Boston College's theology department.

V. Applied Ethics

In consultation with a member of the ethics faculty, students will prepare a representative bibliography drawing on historical and/or contemporary writings (about eight items) in an area of applied ethics. This bibliography should be submitted to the convenor of the Ethics Area who will in turn submit it to the ethics faculty for approval.
