Professional Certificate in Feminist Ethics

About this Podcast

HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be speaking with Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in feminist ethics and the instructor of the new Professional Certificate in Feminist Ethics. Dr. Smith, can you tell us a bit about what inspired you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely, I've seen a growing need for professionals in various fields to better understand and apply feminist ethics to promote social justice and equality. HOST: That's wonderful. Could you share some current industry trends that make this certificate particularly relevant? GUEST: Definitely. With the rise of the #MeToo movement and increased focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, there's a greater demand for professionals who can analyze ethical dilemmas using feminist perspectives. HOST: I can imagine that might present some challenges. What are some obstacles you've encountered while teaching or learning about feminist ethics? GUEST: One challenge is helping students unlearn traditional ethical frameworks that often overlook power dynamics and systemic inequalities. It requires them to adopt new ways of thinking and questioning their assumptions. HOST: That's a great point. Looking to the future, how do you envision the role of feminist ethics evolving in different industries? GUEST: I believe feminist ethics will become increasingly important as we continue to grapple with complex social issues. By incorporating these principles, professionals can drive meaningful change and create more inclusive, equitable environments. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you so much for sharing your insights with us today. I'm sure our listeners will find this conversation inspiring as they consider enrolling in the Professional Certificate in Feminist Ethics. GUEST: Thank you for having me. I'm excited to see how this course empowers professionals to become champions for ethical change in their workplaces and communities. (This conversation is approximately 2 minutes when read aloud.)
