About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're honored to have Dr. Jamie Smith, an expert in LGBTQ+ advocacy and the instructor of a new course, "Professional Certificate in Building Trust in LGBTQ+ Advocacy." Dr. Smith, can you tell us about your personal experiences that led you to teach this course? GUEST: Absolutely! I've spent over two decades working in LGBTQ+ advocacy, and I've seen firsthand how crucial it is for professionals to understand and support LGBTQ+ rights. I'm excited to share my knowledge and help learners become effective allies. HOST: That's wonderful. Now, let's discuss some current industry trends related to this course. What are some key developments that learners should be aware of? GUEST: There's growing recognition of the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. Many companies are implementing policies and training programs to foster more inclusive environments, and our course addresses these trends head-on. HOST: Speaking of challenges, what are some obstacles you've faced in the field or while teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is addressing unconscious bias, which can be deeply ingrained. Our course helps learners identify and challenge their own biases, fostering a more inclusive mindset. HOST: That's a great point. Now, let's look to the future. How do you see this area evolving in the next 5-10 years? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see a greater emphasis on DEI initiatives, and our course prepares learners to be at the forefront of these changes. By building trust and understanding, we can create a more equitable world for all. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you for sharing your insights with us today.
