organize all workerswithin a particular industry. Following the passage of the 1947 Taft-Hartley act, some US laborunions have formed as business unions, unions oriented around a belief that labor unions shouldbe run like businesses while posing no threat to the state or corporations employing theirmembers. These business unions tend to be less democratic and engage in an advocacy model ofchange that does not center its base of power on the workers and their communities [10]. Part ofthe power labor unions have comes from labor strikes and other forms of direct action, actsindividuals or groups take to bring about social change rather than relying on intermediaries orrepresentatives to act on their behalf.

Others haveused documentaries or reports to help students contextualize real events or challenges or to givebackground to case studies. More recently some faculty have created narrative based games thatexplore ethical considerations inside a professor-generated story based on the science of spaceexploration and colonization [11]. When considering narrative pedagogy, students and professorsmay share their personal experiences through essays concerning particular engineering problems[12]. Narrative ethics uses stories to explore ethical issues and possibly

ethics requirements inundergraduate CS and engineering programs. The past couple of years has also seen the coming together of CS educators around the issue ofthinking about and developing guidelines for the Teaching of Responsible Computing [2]. While theseare welcome developments the style of teaching ethics tends to stay at one of two extremes. A courseheavily focused on the philosophy of ethics and a course that spends a great deal of time consideringthe impacts and harms of technology, particularly for speci�ic application areas such as AI [1]. Bothapproaches are valuable in their own way, but a concern for me has been that neither of theseapproaches equips students with how to actively engage in ethics throughout their future
