Developing or finding a rich and engaging, yet focused, mini case in ethics is typically difficult. Many full length cases require students to extensively prepare for the discussion outside of the classroom while many mini cases tend to be received by students as sterile and lacking in relevance. This session presents an engaging and versatile, yet brief, case on Facebook’s recent “emotional contagion” experiment that can be read and discussed in a single class meeting. This session will present the case, explore debriefing points, and share possible adaptions and uses of the case.
