OFFICE OF THE VICE CHANCELLOR – RESEARCH

April 10, 2018


ALL ACADEMICS, STAFF AND STUDENTS AT UC SAN DIEGO

SUBJECT:    CORRECTED LINKS - Staged Readings of Two Plays Offered by UC San Diego Research Ethics and Earl Warren College

We invite all students, faculty, staff, and alumni to attend the upcoming staged readings of the plays Purely Academic on April 12 and 13, 2018 and Margin of Error on May 21, 2018. As a premier public university with a strong research focus, ethics are a critical part of our mission. We are excited to offer this fresh perspective which we hope and trust will generate important conversations across campus.

These readings are being hosted by the UC San Diego Research Ethics Program and the Earl Warren College Office of the Provost, with support from the Institute for Practical Ethics.

Purely Academic dramatizes the darker side of academia, including both personal and professional clashes in academic research. It invites an honest discussion about professional ethics and practices today. What “persona” is cultivated by today’s academic regime? What does it mean to be an academic today? Is it possible to be both ethical and successful in the 21st century University?
Thursday, April 12, 2018; 5-7 pm (Refreshments at 4:30 pm) Room 107, Leichtag Biomedical Research Building.
Friday, April 13, 2018; 4-6 pm (Refreshments at 3:30 pm) Garren Auditorium, Biomedical Science Building.
RSVP: https://purely-academic-stage-reading.eventbrite.com

Margin of Error, by Will Cooper (playwright with San Diego's Roustabouts Theatre Co.), will be performed by the professional actors of the Roustabouts. Framed around a fictional group of physicists, the play highlights competition in science and how it has handled by those involved.
Monday, May 21, 2018 from 5:00-6:30 p.m. (Refreshments at 4:30 pm) at UC, San Diego, Atkinson Auditorium. RSVP: https://marginoferror.eventbrite.com

We hope you will be able to be able to attend!
