Our Mission

Vision

Empowering the ASU community and beyond through scholarship, education, and engagement to imagine, innovate, co-create, and nurture our collective ethical future aimed at human and nonhuman flourishing.

Mission

Established in 1998 by Joan and David Lincoln, the Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics at Arizona State University is dedicated to fostering ethical behavior that leads to positive outcomes in all aspects of life. Today, the Center continues to uphold these values by:

• Empowering faculty, students, and our communities to envision and innovate ethical futures through their research, teaching, and service.

• Designing programming that promotes reflection on our responsibilities to secure ethical human flourishing and a respect for the natural world.

• Supporting interdisciplinary ethics projects that tackle challenging social problems.
