Finally, the curriculum for this certificate includes a significant focus on equity and inclusion as they relate to making virtual therapeutic sessions accessible and responsive to the needs of marginalized communities including BIPOC+ people, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, individuals from low SES backgrounds, older adults, and other groups.How It WorksThis fully-online 12-hour certificate course is designed to provide attendees with maximum flexibility.

- Nov 412:30 PMArtificial Intelligence and Human FlourishingArtificial intelligence (AI) is a dynamic field within computer science, promising the creation of machines possessing human-like intelligence. From pop culture references like "The Terminator" to "Blade Runner," "The Matrix," and "Her," various depictions envision AI's potential outcomes. However, these scenarios remain distant—true human-like AI is far from realization. Nonetheless, we're in the Age of AI; while not akin to science fiction, AI wields substantial influence in human affairs. Assessing its impact, I'll explore whether AI enhances or diminishes human flourishing from an Aristotelian/Thomistic perspective. Does AI make us more or less human? This talk delves into the philosophical implications, scrutinizing how AI technologies intersect with our humanity in the ongoing pursuit of progress.
- Nov 43:00 PMThe Sexual Revolution of the 1960s and its Continuing ImpactThe invention of the birth control pill in the early 1960s marked a shift towards sexual openness after the restrictive 1950s. Women embraced sexual autonomy, Hollywood abandoned its censorious Code, and abortion was legalized in 1973. Additionally, LGBTQ liberation began with the Stonewall Inn rebellion in 1969, leading to broader acceptance. Swingers emerged in suburban culture, sexual guides proliferated, and pornography became mainstream. However, by 2023, some of these advancements face challenges, while the Internet continues to reshape relationships, including sexually. This illustrated talk explores the ongoing sexual revolution and the resistance it encounters, highlighting how societal attitudes toward sexual and gender liberation have evolved over time.
