Working Alternatives explores economic life from a humanistic and
multidisciplinary perspective, with a particular eye on religions'
implications in practices of work, management, supply, production,
remuneration, and exchange. Its contributors draw upon historical,
ethical, business, and theological conversations considering the
sources of economic sustainability and justice. The essays in this
book-from scholars of business, religious ethics, and history-offer
readers practical understanding and analytical leverage over these
pressing issues. Modern Catholic social teaching-a 125-year-old
effort to apply Christian thinking about the implications of faith
for social, political, and economic circumstances-provides the key
springboard for these discussions. Contributors: Gerald J. Beyer,
Alison Collis Greene, Kathleen Holscher, Michael Naughton, Michael
Pirson, Nicholas Rademacher, Vincent Stanley, Sandra
Sullivan-Dunbar, Kirsten Swinth, Sandra Waddock
Third Place, Catholic Media Association: Catholic Social Teaching
Gerald J. Beyer's Just Universities discusses ways that U.S.
Catholic institutions of higher education have embodied or failed
to embody Catholic social teaching in their campus policies and
practices. Beyer argues that the corporatization of the university
has infected U.S. higher education with hyper-individualistic
models and practices that hinder the ability of Catholic
institutions to create an environment imbued with bedrock values
and principles of Catholic Social Teaching such as respect for
human rights, solidarity, and justice. Beyer problematizes
corporatized higher education and shows how it has adversely
affected efforts at Catholic schools to promote worker justice on
campus; equitable admissions; financial aid; retention policies;
diversity and inclusion policies that treat people of color, women,
and LGBTQ persons as full community members; just investment; and
stewardship of resources and the environment.
