During the Winter 2008 semester, Gallimore served as a Taft Visiting Research Fellow in a seminar about racism in French and Francophone literature. “Your research gives you insight for teaching,” she says, as she develops a new course on Afro-Persian writers and a new graduate seminar on testimonial writing. 3 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 16:56:03 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/welch/ipod/Welch01.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/welch/ipod/Welch01.m4v “What I’m really interested in is called social ethics,” Welch explains. What a society counts as moral or immoral is subject to the particular _zeitgeist_—the spirit of the times. For example, at the time of the slave trade, “most people who were slave owners thought it was moral. Even a few blacks, once they were freed, had slaves.” As a social ethicist, Welch has been trying to understand not just the way individuals make moral choices but how a whole society begins to decide “what counts as moral.” 3 Tue, 25 Sep 2007 20:46:51 GMT
