PROFESSIONS FACING CRISES

While professions routinely face challenges, more serious crises emerge at times and must be quickly confronted. Such critical episodes might emerge from natural disasters, poor decision-making, unanticipated events, or popular perception, to name a few. This two-year focus will begin by examining specific crises that face individual practitioners or their profession more generally. The second phase will encompass themes that cut across the particular examples and further explore additional crises to illuminate key issues that arise during the discussions.

PROFESSIONS AND PRIVACY
Professionals are confronted with issues raised by privacy concerns. They often acquire personal information about their clients, parishioners, and patients as they provide their services. This includes information that can directly affect the well-being of others. Technological developments facilitate the ease with which professionals can track information about individuals and transmit that information to other parties, bringing forth questions about appropriate uses of technology. The CTP will examine the challenges that privacy concerns raise for professionals. (Fall 2004– Spring 2006)
