Episode Topic: Economy, Community, and Moral TheologyToday the Ethics at Work Crew chats with Fr. Gilbrian Stoy, C.S.C. '13, '19 MDiv. Fr. Gil has a variety of interests: economy, technology, ecology, and communion theology. Interestingly, Fr. Gil tells us that communion and community should be at the forefront of the way we think about economy.In today's episode, we set the scene for understanding community through the lens of The Road by Cormac McCarthy to begin to unpack how economy involves relationships and meaning. This book gives us an image of communion, which structures everything about the Christian faith. Fr. Gil views the economy as a means for relationships. He pushes us to see each other at the ends of economic exchange and invites us to remember our relationships and human dignity in these exchanges. Looking at the messy human relationships across economic communities, Fr. Gil highlights how technology obscures the relationships that drive the economy. He reminds us that the common good can only be achieved in the collective, so setting up communities of virtue require relationships and common deliberation. Justice starts with an internal disposition of charity toward the other met by systems that enable the common deliberation. Just technologies encourage us to see each other more clearly and to act with charity towards each other.We invite you to consider with us the social concerns at the heart of economic exchange and to consider the people inside and across our economic endeavors.Featured Speakers:Paul Blaschko, Ph.D., assistant teaching professor at the University of Notre DameMegan Levis, Ph.D., assistant professor of the practice with Notre Dame's Center for Social Concerns and with the College of EngineeringWalter Scheirer, Ph.D., the Dennis O.

Episode Topic: Entrepreneurship and Tech Ethics with Kevin BowyerIn this episode we're joined by Dr. Kevin Bowyer, the Schubmehl-Prein Family Professor of Computer Science and Engineering University of Notre Dame for a conversation about artificial intelligence, technology ethics, and entrepreneurship. Kevin's research is in the areas of computer vision and human biometrics, with an emphasis on practical applications. His work has been foundational to the recent Renaissance in artificial intelligence.Kevin has had a truly fascinating career in computer science, beginning with an early foray into computer vision and pattern recognition which led to big questions about where the technology was headed. Kevin will tell us about a book he authored on computer ethics in the 1990s, and how things have changed since he started teaching a course on ethics in Notre Dame's Computer Science and Engineering department more recently. He'll also share his experience teaching a course on technology entrepreneurship, including practical tips for aspiring founders and insider stories about start-up companies that have spun out of Notre Dame. Featured Speakers: Paul Blaschko, Ph.D., assistant teaching professor at the University of Notre DameMegan Levis, Ph.D., assistant professor of the practice with Notre Dame's Center for Social Concerns and with the College of EngineeringWalter Scheirer, Ph.D., the Dennis O.

Today we are joined by Laura Miller-Graff, (BA Notre Dame ‘08; PhD, UMich '13), an Associate Professor of Psychology and Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame. Prof. Miller-Graff's work centers on the impact of violence on childhood development, and the human capacity for resilience in conflict settings. She's concerned with questions of psychological well-being, post-traumatic stress, and the efficacy of interventions for violence-exposed individuals and communities. Through her work, she seeks to develop culturally appropriate, cost-effective psychosocial interventions, paying particular attention to vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and adolescents living amidst chronic sociopolitical conflict.In this episode, we ask Dr. Miller-Graff to draw on her extensive research background in stress, resilience, and trauma, to help us think about stress and burnout in the workplace. With her expertise in investigating how various systems interact to promote or inhibit healthy development after exposure to violence, she shares insights about how the principles she's uncovered can translate to corporate settings, where violence may not be physical, but the traumatic effects of chronic stress can nonetheless be detrimental.Along the way, the Ethics at Work team poses questions about stress (is it always bad?), burnout (how do psychologists think about it?), and happiness at work. Join us for a fascinating take across disciplines on a topic relevant to anyone who's experienced stress or burnout in their own working lives.Featured Speakers: Paul Blaschko, Ph.D., assistant teaching professor at the University of Notre DameMegan Levis, Ph.D., assistant professor of the practice with Notre Dame's Center for Social Concerns and with the College of EngineeringWalter Scheirer, Ph.D., the Dennis O.

In episode 2 of Ethics at Work, "Work, the Common Good, and the Human Person," we are joined by Fr. Justin Brophy, OP ‘06, ‘17, ‘20 a professor of political science at Providence College. Fr. Justin's work follows the ancient definition of politics, thinking about the human person in a community. He's concerned with questions of flourishing, justice, and happiness.In this episode we discuss ideas about work as a means to an end vs the potential of work to display the human person. We think deeply about the ways work has changed over time, how currently there is a focus on fast production over craftsman goods. We question whether this cheapening of the objects around us is dehumanizing.We then ask how work might be essential to a flourishing life. Fr. Justin is particularly concerned with how technology is shaping our relationships with others and ourselves, so we dig into how to use technology well. The modern condition is full of tensions and unease, how do we live well within that? Catholicism gives us a blueprint to be pilgrim people, and we think about how to enact that in the modern world.Featured Speakers: Paul Blaschko, Ph.D., assistant teaching professor at the University of Notre DameMegan Levis, Ph.D., assistant professor of the practice with Notre Dame's Center for Social Concerns and with the College of EngineeringWalter Scheirer, Ph.D., the Dennis O.

Episode Topic: Introducing the Ethics at Work PodcastIn this episode, we introduce our new project, a podcast! We share the story of how each of us came to ask how our relationship with work should look, and what it means to live an excellent working life. Walter and Megan are engineers who think deeply about how technology can and should be used to build better habits and connect with others around us. Since Paul is a philosopher, we aren't scared to dig deep into the philosophies that shape our assumptions.We tell you how we met over breakfast on campus in the middle of the pandemic. We were all at different transition points in our careers, Walter had just received tenure, Paul was starting a job as a faculty member, and Megan was finishing her Ph.D. We realized we were approaching similar questions about work and technology from our different points of view. We talk about our research into work, technology, and ethics and how this led us to create a series of courses, a public database of resources, and a YouTube channel that we call the Ethics at Work Project.Featured Speakers: Paul Blaschko, Ph.D., assistant teaching professor at the University of Notre DameMegan Levis, Ph.D., assistant professor of the practice with Notre Dame's Center for Social Concerns and with the College of EngineeringWalter Scheirer, Ph.D., the Dennis O.

This week, we are re-posting our five most-listened-to podcasts of 2021. We begin with the fifth most-popular program, which featured an address by U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas. On September 16, Justice Clarence Thomas delivered the 2021 Tocqueville Lecture sponsored by the University of Notre Dame's Center for Citizenship and Constitutional Government. In his remarks, he described the U.S. Declaration of Independence as America's "national North Star." "While we have failed the...ideals of the Declaration time and again, I know of no time when [those] ideals have failed us," he said. The Declaration reflects the noble understanding of the justice of the Creator...and the enlightened belief that nothing stamped with the divine image and likeness was sent into the world to be trodden on and degraded."

The Supreme Court today continues to vigorously debate the scope of religious exemptions—which allow individuals or organizations to be exempt from following certain laws that they say burden their religious beliefs—in high-profile cases such as Fulton v. City of Philadelphia (2021). This episode dives into the current and historic debates over religious exemptions in a panel featuring Douglas Laycock, author of the five-volume series The Collected Works on Religious Liberty; Vincent Phillip Muñoz, author of God and the Founders; and Kathleen Brady, author of The Distinctiveness of Religion in American Law. Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, moderates.

We are joined by Oxford University Scholar Max Baker-Hytch as he discusses ho to integrate your faith and your academic study. Max joined Wycliffe Hall in 2016 having completed a D.Phil. in Philosophy at Oxford University in 2014 with a dissertation which examined the philosophical implications of recent accounts of the causal origins of religious belief. He subsequently went on to hold a postdoctoral research fellowship at Oxford as part of the Templeton-funded 'New Insights and Directions in Religious Epistemology' project. He then held a research fellowship at the University of Notre Dame's Center for Philosophy of Religion, before returning to Oxford. Max's research interests lie at the intersection of analytic philosophy of religion and epistemology, and he has published on such topics as divine hiddenness, religious diversity, etiological challenges to moral and religious beliefs, the nature of rationality and knowledge, and methodological issues concerning the emerging field of analytic theology. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/christiangrads/message

What does a typical American Catholic parish look like? Tricia Bruce, an affiliate of the University of Notre Dame's Center for the Study of Religion and Society, argues in her new book that America's largest denomination is held together by the differences it contains. Parish and Place: Making Room for Diversity in the American Catholic Church, published by Oxford University Press (2017), offers an outstanding account of how ecclesiastical structures have changed to take account of the tensions that can exist when “mobile people encounter immobile infrastructure.” Existing alongside the more familiar territorial and national parish structures, personal parishes allow believers with similar ethnic, linguistic, political or liturgical preferences to gather together. But does this represent a concession to the congregational impulse of American Protestantism, or to the market created by religious competition? Are personal parishes a symbol of the success or failure of American Catholicism? Do they represent new forms of segregation, and do they allow the hierarchy to control dissent? Tricia Bruce's Parish and Place offers a distinctive and compelling analysis of the structures that may determine the future of the American Catholic church. Crawford Gribben is a professor of history at Queen's University Belfast. His research interests focus on the history of puritanism and evangelicalism, and he is the author most recently of John Owen and English Puritanism (Oxford University Press, 2016).  Learn more about your ad choices.

Why do children play sports? According to a study by researchers at Notre Dame's Center for Ethical Education, it's to (#1) have fun, then—do something that are good at, improve skills, get exercise, be part of a team and enjoy the excitement of competition. But looking out at many sports fields or at many athletic events- sometimes, if we are being truthful, it looks like we are missing the mark. There are coaches screaming and parents gritting their teeth, fans yelling at referees and teammates shunning other teammates over missed goals or botched moves. What happened to the carefree freedom and fun that sports and athletic engagement once gave us? It's no wonder so many kids drop out of sports by the age of 13. And if we are really to ask ourselves how we can develop strong athletes who thrive at peak performance- do we really think this is the way? My next guest has some other ideas that can really help us. John O'Sullivan started the Changing the Game Project in 2012 after two decades as a soccer player- collegiate and professional- and a coach on the youth, high school, college and professional level.  He is the author of the #1 bestselling books Changing the Game: The Parents Guide to Raising Happy, High Performing Athletes, Giving Youth Sports Back to our Kids and Is it Wise to Specialize? John's work has been featured in The Huffington Post, CNN.com, Outside Magazine, ESPN.com, Soccer America and numerous other publications. John is an internationally known speaker for coaches, parents and youth sports organizations, and has spoken for TEDx, the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, US Lacrosse, IMG Academy, and at numerous other events throughout the US, Canada, Asia and Europe. He has a popular podcast for coaches called Way of the Champions and has even consulted with the US Olympic Committee.
