The Ethics Dashboard-A Learning and Assessment tool for Applied Ethics.

I am a professor of philosophy and specialize Social and Political Philosophy, Moral Theory, Applied Ethics and most recently, Ethics and Artificial Intellegence which is primarily focused on constructing ideas and concepts to inform what is known as Human Centred AI.

The Ethics Dashboard was conceived as a learning and assessment tool designed to supplant traditional paper-based case studies with an interactive, visual platform. Through a combination of sliders, buttons, and text input fields, users are prompted to assess ethical scenarios across four broad categories: Consequences (stakeholder analysis, utilitarian reasoning), Action and Duty (deontological, rule-based ethics), Relations (care ethics, intersectionality, relational ethics), and Character and Virtue (virtue ethics, character analysis). The decolonized framework aims to resist the marginalization of non-Western traditions of moral reasoning by making room for relational ethics and theories of social justice. By breaking ethical reasoning into discrete, visualizable components, the structure of moral deliberation is made explicit. Such a pedagogical move is consistent with Socratic method: rather than providing answers, it elicits articulation, justification, and revision of ethical commitments. In doing so, it addresses a familiar challenge in ethics education: helping learners move beyond intuition or ideology toward structured moral reflection.

Future development will integrate a human centred AI into the application. If AI is to support moral reasoning, it must do more than flag inconsistencies or supply textbook definitions. It must, in effect, learn to ask good questions. This aspiration aligns with the model of Socratic questioning—a mode of dialogical engagement that elicits assumptions, clarifies concepts, and examines implications. Implementing Socratic AI entails training Generative AI’s not to deliver answers, but to initiate prompts that provoke ethical deliberation.

Intercultural Deliberation and the Politics of Minority Rights

Achieving socio-political cohesion in a community with significant ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity is a difficult challenge in contemporary liberal democracies. In the quest for neutrality, public policies and institutions shaped by the needs of the majority can inadvertently marginalize minority interests. Minority groups must therefore translate their desire for cultural recognition into terms that, paradoxically, often minimize cultural difference. Intercultural Deliberation examines the relationship between this minority rights paradox and cultural difference, building a compelling case for an inclusive approach to navigating minority rights claims.

R.E. Lowe-Walker articulates a type of political deliberation designed to mitigate the unintended injustices imposed by majority norms. Instead of asking what the liberal state can tolerate, she asks how our understanding of difference affects our interpretation of minority claims, shifting the focus toward inclusive deliberations. This important work serves as both a measure of social justice and a vehicle for social change.

“The book does a wonderful job at bringing analytical philosophy about semantics, truth, interpretation, and liberalism to bear on some of the basic terms used in multicultural debates.”
--Dr. Avigail Eisenberg, Department of Political Science, University of Victoria.

“I think of her [book] as a way of allowing Indigenous voices to be listened to on their own terms. This is an immensely difficult problem to solve, and goes beyond liberalism, but Lowe is right to focus on liberalism’s failure to do justice to minority voices … The virtue of her approach is that she brings a literature, and a theoretical approach, to bear on real world controversial issues that ought to matter to everyone.”
--Dr. Dale Turner, Departments of Government and Native American Studies, Dartmouth College.
