ETHICS-2023 Session C1 - Panel: Careers in technology ethics

When the topic of having a career in the realm of technology ethics is raised, the standard focus tends to be on being a faculty member within a college or university. However, there are various ways in which a professional with expertise in ethics can operate outside of the confines of an academic classroom. Practitioners, for example, can have work responsibilities directly tied to examining the ethical dimensions of engineering practice. Thus, the focus of this panel session is not only to discuss the types of careers those who work in the realm of technology ethics can have at an academic institution but to go beyond that typical focus to shed light on other career possibilities. The panel should enable the audience, especially students and junior professionals, to learn about a range of technology ethics career possibilities.
