Hosted by the School of Human Inquiry, the Arkansas High School Ethics Bowl is a competitive yet collaborative event in which students from schools throughout the state meet to discuss timely, real-life ethical issues. In each round of the competition, teams take turns analyzing ethical cases and responding to questions and comments from an opposing team and a panel of three judges. Teams are asked to defend a position and provide each other with constructive criticism. The winning team is the one that best demonstrates they have thought rigorously and systematically about the cases and engaged respectfully with all participants.

Attending the bowl as a spectator is free, but space is limited. Contract Dr. Jana McAuliffe (jxmcauliffe@ualr.edu) or Dr. Michael Norton (mbnorton@ualr.edu) for more information.
