Beyond Checklists: Introducing Ethics in Practice
What does it truly mean to practice ethics beyond textbooks and compliance forms? The Ethics in Practice podcast series explores this vital question through conversations with professionals who have placed justice, equity, and sustainability at the heart of their work.
Why This Matters
Research shows that 78% of researchers feel their work culture has become more competitive and unkind. This deterioration particularly affects early-career professionals who often lack power to challenge the systemic issues they witness.
Hosts Matimba Swana and Niyoshi Shah tackle these foundational questions of uncertainty, silence, complicity, and resistance through five episodes featuring ten expert guests from seven countries.
A Different Approach
The series shifts bioethics discourse toward three core concepts:
- Relationality: Ethical decisions emerge from relationships, not isolated choices
- Pluriversality: Honoring diverse ways of knowing that promote justice
- Reflexivity: Embracing ongoing reflection and complexity rather than simple answers
