Interning for a big tech company or working in a research lab this summer? Worried about how technologies like ChatGPT will change the world we live in? Interested in the intersection of technology and social justice? Looking for a space to think about your values and how these might relate to future career decisions?



Consider enrolling in Experiential Ethics,<https://elo.mit.edu/experiential-ethics/> a collaborative, discussion-based course that can be taken by itself or alongside popular experiential learning programs and internships, such as UROP,  MISTI, or PKG opportunities. The class offers theoretical and practical tools to navigate the complex, ever-changing ethical terrains of industry, science, and technology while reflecting critically on your personal, professional, and political roles. Students engage in small-group conversations about their own values as well as the moral, social, and political dimensions of their summer experiences.



More about the class:

  *   Weekly virtual discussion sections run from June-August (potential in-person option for students in the Cambridge area).
  *   Final in-person project presentations are held in September.
  *   Summer tuition is not charged; the class is listed as fall enrollment.
  *   Choose between a more intensive 6-unit version of the course (anticipated) and a 3-unit one.
  *   All continuing MIT undergrads are welcome and encouraged to apply, regardless of year, major, prior ethics experience, or summer plans.

Previous Experiential Ethics students who took the course reported high satisfaction with the course, increased knowledge and ability to engage with ethics, and increased interest in ethics. Testimonials include:


  *   “I absolutely loved taking Experiential Ethics... This class enabled me to more confidently discuss issues that I have observed but have not had the vocabulary to discuss.”
  *   “Being in Experiential Ethics completely changed the way that I view ethics, transforming my relationship with the field of AI, my research, courses at MIT, and the interface between science, technology, and society.”
  *   “The class expanded my definition of ethics to not just include personal definitions of right/wrong, but to also include broader ideas of institutional/systemic ethics. It made me more aware of the articles and books and social issues that usually fly under my radar.”
  *   "I think Experiential Ethics is crucial for anyone majoring in a technical field and beyond."
