Abstract
A pioneer in the study of development ethics, Denis Goulet began exploring this new inter-disciplinary realm in 1956. For ten years he served apprenticeships in France, Spain, Algeria, Lebanon, and Brazil to become familiar with the sociology and anthropology of underdevelopment. He has lived among nomadic tribesmen in the Sahara; worked as a factory hand and laborer in the United States, France, and Spain; served on development planning teams for national governments; and studied social change planning at universities and research institutes. He presently holds concurrent appointments in the Kellogg Institute for International Studies, the Department of Economics, and the Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame.
