The Ethics Bowl Way by Roberta Israeloff

Ethics Bowl espouses a new way to engage in discussions about complex ethical issues.
This volume is a must-read for anyone interested in learning how the Ethics Bowl fosters civil discourseBy weaving ethical conversations into a competitive yet collaborative debate format, the Ethics Bowl cultivates the skills of listening, conversation, deliberation, and problem-solving most needed for modern pluralistic and democratic societies. Those unfamiliar with or new to the Ethics Bowl community will find guidance on how to become involved (whether as an educator, coach, volunteer judge, or supportive community member). Judges and coaches will find thought-provoking models on how to extend the unique experience of Ethics Bowl to others through innovative classroom and community programs. As the first and only full volume on all facets of the Ethics Bowl for multiple demographics and age groups, this book provides a vision of life-long ethical analysis through Ethics Bowl experiences and is destined to become a foundational text. -- Deborah S. Mower, Director, The Center for Practical Ethics, University of Mississippi
Ethics Bowl has long been one of the most innovative and effective methods for introducing both philosophy and ethics to young students. Israeloff and Mizell have edited a collection that is an asset to all interested in this initiative, whether as brand-new practitioners or experienced Ethics Bowl participants. This text and its authors also build upon Ethics Bowl history and traditions to illustrate possibilities for new horizons in bringing ethics and philosophical engagement to prisons, classrooms, and populations across the lifespan. -- Michael D. Burroughs, Director, Kegley Institute of Ethics, California State University Bakersfield; Founding Editor, Precollege Philosophy and Public Practice
