Transformation Through Dialogue
We help communities and organizations address ethical challenges through collaborative research, education, and discussion. Listening to one another, working with each other, and learning from those we disagree with are truly some of the most ethical things we can do.

Ethics is about what it means to live well for an individual, an organization, or a community. It is not so much about rules and punishment and guilt as it is about the keys to health, happiness, and human flourishing.

Marc V. Rugani is Director of the Center for Ethics in Society (CES) and Associate Professor of Theology at Saint Anselm College. He received his doctorate in moral theology and ethics from The Catholic University of America in 2021 and has published numerous articles focusing on how Catholic social teaching informs economics, politics, and sociology. His work at the CES is grounded in a commitment to the dignity of all persons, solidarity, subsidiarity, and the common good. He believes the CES can contribute to community flourishing by fostering sincere encounters with one another in collaborative dialogue, education, and service.
