Ethics Unwrapped Faculty/Staff Lunch and Learn

One of the strongest and most persistent biases that humans suffer from is the self-serving bias—the tendency to gather, process, and even remember information is a way that tends to favor one’s own interests or pre-existing positions. This bias often causes people to make decisions that seem morally indefensible to objective third party observers. In this lesson, participants should view the Ethics Unwrapped video on the Self-serving Bias (https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/video/self-serving-bias), which is easily found in the Concepts Unwrapped section of the Ethics Unwrapped website or searchable on YouTube. A discussion of the case study (also located on the Ethics Unwrapped website) regarding James Frey’s book “A Million Little Pieces,” which had to be recalled by the publisher after being touted by Oprah Winfrey, will initiate the discussion which will be led by Prof. Christopher Meakin, an award-winning lecturer in the BGS Department.

Family Matters - Pregnancy Disclosure, Workforce Planning & Returning Parents

Few things affect our lives more than our families. In what is likely the most joyous time at home can present tricky dynamics at work. And, managers routinely face the difficulty of helping employees navigate a career path while also working in new priorities at home (and dealing with sleepless nights, doctor visits, and new work arrangements) How should managers respond to pregnancy disclosure from their employee? How can they plan for extended absences of employees as well as the return to work? How should managers consider family leave in performance metrics? These and other questions can be challenging to answer. Learn about how businesses and managers can navigate difficult conversations around family leave, promote and support employees with significant family commitments, and develop strategies which encourage retention and productivity. Dr. Ethan Burris is opening this session of Power and Politics to the broader UT and Austin community to facilitate a lively dialogue on this too often taboo subject. Our audience will have the chance to learn from and interact with our panelists: Aimie Aronica, Global Head of Employee Engagement, PayPal Marin Heiskell, Senior Consultant, Deloitte Muna Hussaini, Senior Program Manager, PayPal Eden King, Professor of Psychology, Rice University This interactive panel will bring knowledge and experience from academia, consulting, and managerial perspectives.

Ethics Unwrapped Faculty/Staff Lunch and Learn

In a world where intellectual property is more important and more valuable than ever before, it is easy to find yourself in ethical and perhaps even legal difficulties if you do not know the laws and mores of appropriation and attribution. In this lesson, participants should view the Ethics Unwrapped video on Appropriation & Attribution (https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/video/appropriation-attribution), which is easily found in the Concepts Unwrapped section of the Ethics Unwrapped website or searchable on YouTube. A discussion of two case studies that are located on the above-mentioned website, will begin the lesson. The first relates to alleged cultural misappropriation that arose when a governor’s daughter promoted her band by wearing a Native American headdress, though she was not Native American herself. The second involves artist Shepard Fairey’s use of an AP photograph of Barack Obama to create the iconic “Hope” image used widely by Obama supporters. The lesson will be led by Prof. Karen Landolt, an award-winning teacher of ethics courses at McCombs and an attorney who teaches intellectual property law.
