The Ethics of Caring is a new podcast that explores ethical decision making in the context of heritage labor. The creator work in museums, archives, private businesses, and academia. They are conservators and preservationists, community organizers, and educators who acknowledge their biases, preferences, and values openly. By interviewing fellow laborers in various fields within the heritage sector, they gather information and perspectives on what it means to care professionally, how to intentionally embed values into their decisions, and how to cultivate community sustainably. Since the hosts are actively having conversations, their perspectives are actively expanding. 

The first season is intended as a pilot project to determine format and understand listenership and the creators feel emboldened by the freedom this open-ended format affords them. It is generously hosted on WhatIsConservation.com and funded by grants awarded through the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation and the Society of Winterthur Fellows.
