IDPT 40512 - Ethics of Settlement HousesCourse Credit: 0.25 Maximum Credit: 1 ETHICS OF SETTLEMENT HOUSES The academic intention of the course is to provide some conceptual groundwork for American settlement house agencies, such as Jane Addams’ Hull House and Dorothy Day’s Catholic Worker Houses. In addition to a basic familiarity with the ethical theories of utilitarianism, deontological, virtue ethics, and the American pragmatists of the era, the reading will turn the students attention to the theoretical frameworks of both Addams and Day.
