The Provost's Awards Lecture Series is intended to honor and showcase the recipients of the Provost's Awards and provide them an opportunity to present, share and discuss their work with the campus. Another goal of this series is to raise the level of academic and intellectual discourse among our colleagues, and to further enrich connections with others across campus.
All lectures are held from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. in the Henry Madden Library, Room 2206 (Second Floor).

“Decentering the Self: Implications of Service-Learning Pedagogy on Ethics”

Although various student learning outcomes have already been linked to service-learning, studies linking service-learning to ethics are few and far between. Dr. Zhanna Bagdasarov will share findings from an exploratory research project examining the impact of service-learning on college students’ ethical decision making and its related processes and strategies.
