Based at Santa Clara University, the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics is dedicated to creating and sustaining meaningful research and dialogue on ethical issues in critical areas of American life, such as bioethics and character education. Along with their important publications, they have also made some other nice resources available on their website. One resource is the "Heard on Campus" series of podcasts that can be listened to here in their entirety. The offerings extend back to September 26, and currently there are 50 podcasts available. Some of the conversations and lectures here include titles like "Bailouts, Fairness and Moral Hazard: Ethnical Challenges in Dismal Economic Times", "The Scope of Executive Power", and "No-Bid Contracts for Iraqi Oil". Taken as a whole, this site is a veritable cornucopia of thoughtful discussions and debate about a wide range of topics that are both timely and eternal.
