Arnaud had just delivered a guest-lecture at the Economic Ethics course that is part of the Applied Ethics program at Utrecht University. In this interview, we ask him about his personal experience. Bridging a gap between what a student in Applied Ethics is taught and what the corporate business ethics environment requires. Very relevant for students in applied philosophy or ethics!
