The Case for Career Services
Q: Can you differentiate between getting people ready to go out into the job market and treating higher education like a pipeline?

J. S. Nelson, "Business Ethics: What Everyone Needs to Know" (Oxford UP, 2021)
Q: How do you balance different disciplinary perspectives when teaching business ethics?
The interviewees describe integrating psychology, economics, philosophy, and law to show both strengths and weaknesses of each framework, and to design systems that foster prosocial behavior without allowing rationalizations to justify misconduct.
J. S. Nelson, "Business Ethics: What Everyone Needs to Know" (Oxford UP, 2021)
Q: What were you hoping to accomplish with this book that existing business ethics texts were not doing?
Nelson explains the goal was to make ethics usable and actionable across disciplines, delivering content in a concise questions-and-answers format so readers can apply it in real-world, everyday business decisions.
Fighting Social Isolation And Loneliness: The Importance Of Good Processes And Hosting In Community Leadership
Q: Is business at odds with community? How do you reconcile these priorities?
There isn't a necessary conflict; many organizers balance nonprofit and for-profit pressures, and transparency about funding helps align mission with sustainability, showing that communities can grow through both grassroots effort and thoughtful resource use.
