While at Denison, he’ll facilitate a student-driven dialogue about how to build partnerships between community shareholders and corporations. In addition, he will speak from his experience as a former member of President Clinton’s Anti-Sweatshop Task Force and as a current member of several faith-based human rights watchdog and advocacy groups.

The Goodspeed Lecture Series features scholars whose work is in the field of religion or is related to religious issues. The series is named in honor of the late Edgar J. Goodspeed, an 1890 Denison graduate, who was one of nine biblical scholars who worked on the Revised Standard Version of the Scriptures.
