Ethics is a term we throw around quite often in the doing good sector. But what does it really mean? Where do ethics apply? Is it at the organisational level, the individual level, or both?In the humanitarian sector, where staff are regularly placed in situations where they are required to make decisions that can deeply affect the lives of others, how does ethics apply? Is it ok to be placed in that situation? In a sector with a high burnout rate, and an expectation to just accept working conditions – who is responsible when things go wrong?Today, we are talking about my absolute favourite topics, ethics and philosophy, with Dr. Matt Beard (https://twitter.com/matthewtbeard). Matt is a husband, dad, and pop culture nerd, who also happens to be one of my favourite moral philosophers and ethicists. He is also the resident philosopher on one of the best kids ethics podcasts around – Short and Curly (https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/shortandcurly/). Matt is the Program Director for the Vincent Fairfax Fellowship at the Cranlana Centre for Ethical Leadership (https://cranlana.org.au/).
