In this episode, professors from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan tackle the question, “How can business shape the future of diversity, equity, and inclusion?” They discuss why business should concern itself with big social change, areas ripe for improvement, and roadblocks that get in the way of true progress. Then, Professor Samantha Keppler describes her eye-opening research into the value of crowdfunding small projects in schools — and some broader implications of the results.
