Roundtable Symposium

The Ethical Dilemmas Roundtable Symposium offers opportunities for students, faculty, administrators, and community members to critically explore real-world ethical dilemmas in education. It is an opportunity to not only discuss key issues but also to collaborate and contribute to a larger conversation on the future of ethical leadership in education. The event includes a keynote presentation, panel discussion and modelling of dialogic communication and analysis of ethical dilemmas through a multi-paradigm approach, and facilitated roundtable discussions.

On November 22, 2024, students in a graduate course in education titled Ethical Issues in Higher Education Leadership hosted the inaugural Ethical Dilemmas Roundtable Symposium at Thompson Rivers University (TRU) in Kamloops, BC. The Symposium was an opportunity for members of the TRU community to critically explore real-world ethical dilemmas in higher education. The 2nd annual Symposium is scheduled for November 26, 2025. Additional resources and Symposium materials will be added to Teaching and Learning Resources on an ongoing basis.
