Ethics Seminars in honor of David Smith

longtime director David H. Smith, professor of religious
studies. The topics include journalists' ethics in a time
of war, the role of religion in contemporary American
politics, direct marketing of genetic tests, and issues in
research ethics. Presenters were all IU or IUPUI faculty who
have worked with the Poynter Center through the years.
