Governmental and Public Policy Ethics

Arizona is home to twenty-two federally recognized indigenous tribes. Arizona also shares a border with Mexica. Local, state, and federal governments interact with the Mexican government and tribal leaders regularly.  At every level, ethical issues must be addressed in multi-governmental interactions.

Faculty in our Department of Anthropology, Department of Applied Indigenous Studies, Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Department of Ethnic Studies, and Department of Politics and International Affairs study and develop expertise in the inner workings of our criminal justice system, our global relationships, and relationships between our local, regional, tribal, and international governments. Faculty in our School of Art, School of Music, and Departments of Comparative Cultural Studies, Global Languages & Cultures, History, Philosophy, and Theatre engage students and the community on the importance of cultural awareness.
