Stewardship Ethics Seminar

Stewardship Ethics Seminar

Four positions, all defensible, all held by real people. Production, conservation, access, and traditional rights.

The seminar format assigns positions rather than letting students pick, which stops it becoming a rehearsal of what they already think. Arguing a position you did not choose is the single most useful thing in the sheet.

The page has the four position briefs, the seminar protocol, a preparation frame and a reflection. The reflection asks which argument they found strongest, not which they agree with, and those two answers are often different, which is the outcome worth having.
