Write to us to let us know which session you intend to attend, and we\u2019ll try our best to get you in touch with an academic who shares your interest.<br \/>b.

After attending an Ethics Caf\u00e9 session, you might be inspired to develop your idea or interest into something more tangible.<br \/>b. If so, we\u2019re happy to put you in touch with someone who could potentially supervise or provide advice (formally or informally) on your work.<br \/>c.

Be ready to speak or debate about any topic that interests you. Ethics Caf\u00e9 is a safe and inclusive space where students and faculty alike are free to discuss anything. So naturally, different points of views may arise especially when it comes to contentious topics. Safety is our number 1 priority, and we will do everything we can to uphold a suitable space for discussion.<\/p>\n<p>The Caf\u00e9 is committed to being respectful to everyone irrespective of the views they hold. We ask that attendees come ready to engage in respectful, active listening. This means being ready to listen carefully to all viewpoints &#8212; even (or especially) to those that contradict yours. If you are keen to debate, you are most welcome to do so. We ask only that you engage fairly and respectfully with those you are debating with.<br \/><br \/>Debate etiquette: For instance, in a debate, please allow your interlocutors the opportunity to express their views in full. Avoid interrupting each other when talking, and always assume that your interlocutor is intelligent enough to bring to the table a defensible view. When questioned, take care to respond appropriately to the question, and take care not to shrug or wave questions off. If there are several people involved in the conversation, ensure that everyone has an opportunity to add to the conversation.<br \/><br \/>In any case, all attendees (including students and CBmE staff) are granted, unequivocally, the right to disengage from conversation if discomfort arises.<br \/><br \/>We will <strong>not<\/strong> tolerate violence, physical or otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Photos and videos may be taken at the event for future publicity. Although we will take your attendance at the event as implicit consent to being photographed, your confidentiality and comfort is important to us. Also, as you are likely aware, active consent trumps implicit\/passive consent.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to opt out of being captured on photo or video, kindly reply to your invitation email to let us know. If you opt out, we will take every reasonable effort to remove your likeness from our photos and videos. If you do not opt out, then we take it as understood that you consent to being photographed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ef9deb9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ef9deb9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-8bbdd22\" data-id=\"8bbdd22\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0772992 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"0772992\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f7dd05 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3f7dd05\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Where do I Sign up?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a1eabff elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a1eabff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If this sounds enticing to you, come on down!
