Indiana Bicentennial Celebration 2016

Legacy Projects > Examining Ethics-Next Indiana Podcasts Examining Ethics-Next Indiana Podcasts

The three-episode miniseries of Examining Ethics will examine three themes of moral and ethical questions raised in Indiana’s first 200 years of statehood: infrastructure, immigration, and incarceration. Each of the podcast episodes will delve into fascinating critical moment in Indiana’s history to offer context on how we handled the programs, what the repercussions were, and how they influence our state today. The series will help listeners to think deeply about ethics and the impact of these events on our state.

Describe a highlight or most memorable moment related to your Legacy Project?

  • Since many of our projects and programs are related to history, a highlight of this project was that it engaged with the ethics discipline. While the podcasts certainly contained historical elements, the primary goal of the project was to examine moral issues. The podcasts also featured a variety of speakers including former Governor Mitch Daniels, former U.S. Congressman Lee Hamilton and preeminent state historian James Madison.
