Nathan Colaner

Nathan Colaner

Instructor of Management and Philosophy

Seattle University

Teaching, writing, and mentoring in business ethics have been the greatest joys of my professional life. Although I have realized, as many academics before me have, that there is a kind of satisfaction you can find only by directly impacting your community for good. So in addition to my role as Instructor at Seattle University, I have co-founded Digital Dignity Consulting, which addresses what will become one of the most important questions of the 21st century: what are the ethical and legal issues that businesses should consider when managing big data and machine learning?
