Dr. Anthony Feinstein has long explored the psychological impacts on journalists in conflict zones. In his new book, Moral Courage, 19 Profiles of Investigative Journalists, he turns the spotlight on journalists undeterred in their efforts to tell fellow citizens about their corrupt governments, vicious cartels, and other subjects.

His work in this area extends from groundbreaking research on war journalism and emotional health, to his Peabody Award-winning documentary, Under Fire: Journalists in Combat, to multiple books including his most recent , Moral Courage, 19 Profiles of Investigative Journalists.

Thoughtful activism, driven by authentic ethical conviction, is the most powerful force for change.
"In this enlightening episode, Dr. Janet Rumfelt, Board Chair of the African Network for Animal Welfare USA (ANAW USA) and professor of Environmental Studies at Regis University, shares her profound insights into the symbiotic relationship between humans, animals, and our shared environment. She reflects on how her academic background in religion, ethics, and philosophy has shaped her understanding of the interconnectedness of all living beings.
Dr. Rumfelt discusses ANAW’S mission in Kenya and other African nations, emphasizing the role of education and sustainable livelihood initiatives in protecting endangered species and combating illegal poaching. She shares her journey in animal welfare and environmental conservation, highlighting the value of curiosity and a beginner's mind.
The episode delves into how ethics, religion, and philosophy can enhance activism, drawing on teachings from figures like Pope Francis, Buddhist leader Thich Nhat Hanh, and indigenous leaders. It explores environmental ethics through various lenses, including biocentrism, eco-centrism, and anthropocentrism, and underscores the importance of interconnection and interdependence.
Additionally, Dr. Rumfelt discusses the Master of Arts Specialization in Environmental Studies at Regis University and the ANAW-USA Veterinary Service Trip in Tanzania coming in spring, 2024. These initiatives highlight the episode's central theme: the vital role of education and regenerative virtues in creating a harmonious and sustainable world.
'The philosophy that we [ANAW] have is One Health, which is the notion that the welfare of people, planet, and non-human animals is intertwined...what's good for animals is good for people is good for the environment.' — Dr. Janet Rumfelt
