“Project Pyramid: Religion and the Business of Alleviating Poverty”
The Divinity School holds a fundamental commitment to seeking justice and extending God's care in the world. Recently, students from the Owen School of Management at Vanderbilt, inspired by the work of people like Muhammed Yunus, have been focusing on applying business strategies to improve the lives of those at the bottom of the pyramid. Drawing on the interests and expertise of both schools, this course sought to bring together moral and theological imagination with practical and innovative strategies for alleviating poverty, building on the shared concerns of students for an ethically informed and effective approach to a fundamental challenge with both local and global significance.
