    Responsibility

    The ethical obligations that come with producing, sharing, and applying knowledge. Responsibility asks: What are we accountable for as knowers? What are the consequences of what we claim to know?

    Key Questions

    • What responsibilities come with this knowledge?
    • Should some knowledge not be sought or shared?
    • Who bears responsibility for how knowledge is used?
    • How do we balance the freedom to know with the duty to consider consequences?
