Ethics Lucky Dip: Arguing the Good, the Bad, and the Imaginative

In this experiential session, I introduce a scaffolded classroom activity designed to enhance student engagement and ethical reasoning in business ethics and governance education. Inspired by spontaneous moments in a third-year undergraduate class, where students argued from morally questionable positions to provoke deeper discussion, I formalised this instinct into a structured, theory-driven experience. Students are randomly assigned ethical frameworks and must argue solely from that perspective. The activity culminates in moral imagination, where students creatively reframe dilemmas. This session is adaptable across levels and supports curriculum goals in business ethics, governance, and responsible business management, making it relevant for both societal and organisational contexts.
