‘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?

“As the first woman and first woman of color elected to be vice president, Kamala Harris shattered several glass ceilings in one night. Her election marks a watershed moment for women’s leadership – ushering in a new era of possibilities.
“While women have made great strides in business, academia and government, they remain woefully underrepresented at the highest levels of leadership. One of the biggest obstacles preventing women from reaching senior positions are gendered stereotypes about leadership – namely, that women are not a good fit for leadership. To overcome these stereotypes, women often must prove they have what it takes to be strong leaders in ways men do not. Yet in doing so, women can face backlash because people perceive them as being too assertive, angry or, as Kamala Harris has been described, ‘too ambitious.’ It is a classic double-bind.
