The Ethics of Human Development and Community Across the Curriculum
In this chapter, we present the Ethics of Human Development and Community as an ethical framework for practitioners in community research and action and for teachers and students engaging in classroom instruction and learning on social scientific research and practice. This ethical framework draws upon the work of Nicholas Hobbs—a pioneer in the ethics of psychology and cornerstone of Vanderbilt’s Peabody College—and is at its core a reflective–generative approach to both learning and professional practice. We give particular attention to the implications of this ethical framework for the relationship between professional and client, arguing that this relationship should be characterized by mutual caring, respect, and autonomy. This chapter also provides practical tools useful for classroom instruction.
