American Made: Who Wins, Who Loses, and Why it Matters (PPIL)

As part of Leadership and Ethics Week 2025, join The Student Leadership and Ethics Board for a thought-provoking conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Farah Stockman. Drawing from her acclaimed book American Made: What Happens to People When Work Disappears, the conversation will explore the profound economic and ethical questions surrounding job loss, deindustrialization, and the widening divides in America. As an editorial board member of The New York Times and an award-winning reporter, Stockman has spent years investigating the human impact of economic shifts. This discussion will challenge us to think critically about the role of business, policy, and leadership in shaping the future of work in America. The fireside chat will be moderated by Shatiek Gatlin '25.

Key Learning Objectives:
-Understanding the identity and perspective of different socio-economic statuses in America and the impact business decisions on local communities
-Managing intercultural dialogue, particularly across differences of politics and business in an increasingly divided America

Attending this session will provide credit towards the Phillips Pathway for Inclusive Leadership (PPIL), focusing on the DEI essential skills of Understanding Identity and Perspective Taking and Mitigating Bias and Prejudice.

This event is sponsored by The Paul M. Montrone Seminar Series on Ethics.
