In this episode, Professor Gina Bennett discusses her course, Ethics in Intelligence and National Security. We open up discussing Professor Bennett’s background as an analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency, where she reflects on the proudest moments of her career. We then go into her course, opening up with theory - specifically four ethical frameworks that guide the course. Then, we cover the ethical underpinnings in the founding of the United States of America and where they arise in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Finally, professor Bennett reveals the dilemma paradigms that arise from the ethical frameworks.

The Security Studies Podcast is produced by Jeffrey Palmer.
