Seeing human: How attributing minds to businesses and corporations influences our moral judgments of them

What is "human"? While many of us think it is easy to identify, the line between human and non-human is murkier than you think. Think of debates about when human life starts, the times we ask Siri or Claude for emotional support, and how we form social bonds with our toys (or brands). Shared among discussions of what is human, however, is whether we perceive a mind in the target. In this talk, I will focus on one particular non-human entity that we have, whether consciously or subconsciously, been treating like humans for more than 150 years: the organization.

Mindful Movement

Every Thursday at 10 a.m., add some movement to your mindfulness practice with Mindful Movement. The 15-minute Zoom sessions will combine movement, breathwork, visualization and intention to create a moving meditation practice that enhances relaxation and improves well-being. Drop in for an enhanced mindfulness experience through a focus on mobilization.

Effective State Policies to Strengthen the Early Years

The Prenatal-to-3 Policy Impact Center empowers states with rigorous evidence to implement effective and equitable policies that ensure all children thrive from the start. Grounded in the science of the developing child and based on the most rigorous evidence available, the Prenatal-to-3 State Policy Roadmap details the most effective state actions that foster the nurturing environments infants and toddlers need, and that reduce longstanding racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in access and outcomes.

Community Work Day

Come join us in the fields to lose track of time, be outdoors, practice embodied work, and experience profound community with plants, soil, and humans! Our students, volunteers, and staff consistently say that their most memorable memories at DCF are the conversations they shared over a wheelbarrow of mulch or while tackling weeds in a bed of carrots together. Absolutely no farming experience is necessary, and there is no Duke affiliation required. We have tasks for most ages and abilities.

Mobile Health Assessment

Health Assessment is a free, confidential health screening provided through Duke benefits. It includes total cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose, BMI, waist circumference height, weight and body mass index measurements. Additionally, there is a goal setting and referral session with a nurse, dietitian, or fitness specialist. Many participants find the coaching session helps them get started making lifestyle changes and connects them to LIVE FOR LIFE and community resources to support them. Health Assessments are available to all active Duke employees.
