10 JUN 2024 · Paul Charles, NLPAA, CIPD, Director of Organisational Talent Development at GBS, which is part of GEDU, speaks to Ann Marie about the need for values driving leadership, talent development, sport and people development. Paul discusses how the corporate sector can remain competitive whilst upholding values and ethics and that this is a credible position to hold in a business environment. Paul is an expert in leadership development and has worked extensively with England and Middlesex County Rugby, is an advocate for women’s rugby, and has been a recipient of the Coach of the Year award in 2019. This podcast is a ‘must listen’ to anyone who is curious about how we uphold values in a corporate world that is keen to get-ahead and deliver results as well as in the sporting world where winning at all costs doesn’t mean we lose our values!
24 MAY 2024 · Joseph Nelson, Pastor in the Lutheran Church in Great Britain and alumnus of Leeds Trinity University, discusses the need to reflect carefully on the advent of AI technology in light of the CST principle of human dignity and the work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Joseph provides a very insightful presentation of the issues as they stand right now and suggests that we need to participate in the ethical discussions and reflect together on the criteria needed to really understand the ethics of AI and know exactly what is at stake with the advent of some of the new technologies that exist right now and those that are forthcoming in the not too distant future.
24 MAY 2024 · Professor Neil Messer, Professor of Theological Bioethics at Baylor University in Texas, gives a fascinating lecture on neurotechnologies and the common good. Neil’s talk is expertly crafted to give everyone the science and the theological and ethical frameworks that we need to make the distinction between what might be considered as the good ‘therapeutic’ use of AI in health care and what might be simply ‘enhancement’ for enhancement’s sake. The questions raised by Neil’s research are relevant to everyone who is interested in protecting the common good of society – a key principle of Catholic Social Teaching which seeks to provide the good of all individuals and groups in our society.
24 MAY 2024 · Dr Catriona Russell, Assistant Professor of Ethics in the School of Religion at Trinity College Dublin, takes us on a journey back to the meaning of the word techné so that we can be re-introduced into what the etymology of the word technology is. She then discusses the current marketisation of urban life and whether or not the idea of sustainability is authentically expressed in attempts to introduce technology in the city that will off-set our human behaviours that contribute to environmental degradation. Catriona’s lecture provides much hope as we seek to navigate the ethical questions and choices that face us as we embrace technology in a world which also requires ecological conversion and simplicity of living. There is much food for thought also in the phrases that Catriona uses in her lecture. The ‘commodification of the sky is something we will all need to consider about going forward…’. A must listen!

For Jackie, the ‘soul’ of a university can be seen in and through its students. In other words, students are the measure for who we are and how our values plays out at university. Students are our hope!
9 FEB 2024 · Professor Damien Page, Deputy Vice Chancellor at Buckinghamshire New University, talks about what gives him ‘hope’ in the current HE climate whilst also sharing advice and guidance for our current student body on what he feels are important points to keep in mind for a positive future. Being a ‘disrupter’, asking questions as well as being critical of ideas and concepts is something that Damien mentions as being key to becoming employable in today’s job market. He also gives advice to the sector about the need to ‘listen’ to our young people more as they are already innovators in their own right.

Faith in action is what this podcast is all about.
