“…We have reported here on an approach to bring current the pedagogy of ethics, in order to reflect the evolving nature of the sector. It builds on the Walton, Stearns, & Crespy (1997) framework, acknowledges and adheres to our Constitutional foundations, and is consistent with both the current ASPA Code of Ethics and the NASPAA Code of Conduct.…”

In this paper I argue that applied philosophers hoping to develop a stronger role in public policy formation can begin by aligning their methods with the tools employed in the policy sciences. I proceed first by characterizing the standard view of policymaking and policy education as instrumentally oriented toward the employment of specific policy tools. I then investigate pressures internal to philosophy that nudge work in applied philosophy toward the periphery of policy debates. I capture the dynamics of these pressures by framing them as the "dilemma dilemma" and the "problem problem." Seeking a remedy, I turn to the interdisciplinarity of a unique approach to policymaking generally known as the "policy sciences." Finally, I investigate the case of bioethics, an instance where philosophy has made decent headway with policymakers. From this I draw parallels to public policy. I suggest that because the policy sciences are essentially an alchemist' s brew of academic fields, and because philosophy covers many of the foundational questions associated with these fields, it is only natural that applied philosophers should begin collaborations with other applied academics by adopting the strategies that have so successfully applied in other theoretical fields.

Ethical Issues in Risk Communication: Continuing the Discussion*

Risk Analysis

Proposed in this article is one possible framework for classifying multiple types of ethical issues in risk communication research and practice to help continue a discussion initiated in 1990 by Morgan and Lave. Some of the questions that each stage of the process for planning risk communication strategies appears to pose for ethics are discussed (e.g., selecting issues to be communicated, knowing the issue, dealing with constraints). Also discussed briefly are some issues raised by the possibility that risk communicators aspire to the status of a profession. The purpose is to foster discussion rather than issue a conclusive statement on the topic, because its very nature makes a definitive pronouncement indefensible.
