‘Living into our humanity’: An interview with Jennifer Herdt
Jennifer Herdt is the Gilbert L. Stark Professor of Christian Ethics at Yale Divinity School and, for the past eight years, Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. At the end of the academic year, her service in administration comes to an end and she returns to fulltime faculty duties. YDS sat down with Prof. Herdt to discuss curriculum and teaching changes during the year of crises, as well as her research on ethical formation and the insights gained from her administrative experience.
It has been over a year since the pandemic hit and changed, seemingly, everything. How has this historic event changed the YDS curriculum? Have you or your faculty colleagues created any new courses or changed existing courses to address the pandemic directly or indirectly?
