Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics

FASPE challenges graduate students and future leaders to recognize and confront their ethical responsibilities as professionals by analyzing the decisions and actions of Nazi-era professionals. In 2023, FASPE will award fellowships to 80-90 individuals out of a large pool of applicants from across the United States and abroad. FASPE’s fellowship programs are led by distinguished faculty comprised of university professors and practicing professionals in the five disciplines, along with leading ethicists and historians who have specific expertise in the role of the professions in Germany and Nazi-occupied Europe from 1933 to 1945.
