GREENSBORO, N.C. – Wade Maki, a member of the philosophy department, will present a lecture titled “Ethical Challenges of International Business: Cases from Around the Globe.”

The lecture, which is free and open to the public, will be held Thursday, Oct. 2, at 4 p.m. in Room 160 of the Bryan Building.

Maki’s research interests focus on designing cases to challenge students’ moral reasoning abilities and constructing interactive learning activities.

The lecture is sponsored by UNCG’s BB&T Program on Capitalism, Markets and Morality. The program, which was funded by a $1 million gift from the BB&T Charitable Foundation, was established to promote the study, discussion and debate about the role of capitalism and its moral implications.

The program offers students from disciplines across the campus the opportunity to examine the ethical and philosophical basis for free market economies, as well as to broaden their knowledge of economics as a multi-faceted discipline.
