The Society for American Archaeology Committee on Ethics invites you to attend the 7th Annual SAA Ethics Bowl at this year’s 75th Anniversary Meeting in St. Louis. The Ethics Bowl is a fun and festive debate-style competition, in which teams of students present ways of responding to hypothetical case studies that illustrate a range of ethical dilemmas.
Come and cheer on your friends, colleagues, or your Alma mater! Check out the schedule below to see when our eight teams for this year will be competing.
