ABOUT THE INSTITUTE FOR POLICY, ETHICS, AND CULTURE
The Institute for Policy, Ethics, and Culture (IPEC) addresses the policy implications,
ethical considerations, and cultural significance of the massive changes and disruptive
forces currently underway. By bringing policy, ethics, and culture into the center
of inquiry, IPEC creates collaborations on topics key to understanding technocultural
change: issues such as algorithmic culture, medicine, biotechnology, and ethics; technology
and autonomy; surveillance and privacy; and reconfiguring human relationships in and
with a changing environment. IPEC brings together a diversity of knowledge holders—faculty, staff, and community partners—to collaborate on and support research, policy, sharing, and teaching that responds
to the changing technological environment.
