FASPE Design & Technology Fellowship
Summer Ethical Leadership Fellowship for Graduate Students and Early-Career Professionals in Design, Technology, Architecture, Computer/Data Science and Related Fields
FASPE (Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics) is now accepting applications for its 2023 Design & Technology program.
FASPE Design & Technology is a fully-funded, two-week fellowship program in professional ethics and ethical leadership that begins by examining the actions and choices of German designers and technologists in enabling Nazi policies. It then draws on this historical example to help Design & Technology Fellows both grapple with their role and responsibility as designers of built environments and encourages them to identify and confront the ethical issues currently facing architects, engineers, designers, and other technologists today. The program takes place in Germany and Poland at sites of historical significance, allowing Fellows to benefit from immersive, contextual learning.
