Listen to what people are saying about "Behind
the Swoosh: Sweatshops and Social Justice":
"This presentation is powerful and thought provoking. It provides students with a "virtual" immersion into a dimension of the globalized market that many are certainly unaware of and others can barely imagine. This story is instructive even to someone like myself, who sees the world more from a market fundamentalist than a moral perspective, and it invites debate and discussion that contrasts the two views."
- Dr. Nancy Fox, Professor of Economics, St. Joseph's University
"In the era in which we live, it is critical for our students to grasp an understanding of how our lives are inextricably connected to the lives of those in the developing world. The dynamic, multi-media presentation that Jim and Leslie offer makes this connection visible, accessible, and from my own personal experience on two different college campuses, concretely changes the hearts and minds of the students that they reach."
- Victoria Carty, Professor of Sociology, Niagara University
"Once again, thank you! Your presentation at John Carroll University last week was unbelievable! I have been to many a talk and presentation on justice issues and this was one of the best--truly very professional, organized and touching. Thanks again--you were so inspiring."
- Pat K., John Carroll University
"I've been here for more than three months, attending every presentation I have time for, and yours was far and beyond the best. It was very well-organized and really informative, but most importantly, you totally struck a personal chord with everyone in that room."
- Kat Melville, Swarthmore College
"Jim and Leslie are truly modern prophets
in a world too often driven by the mindless seeking
of profit. Their ability to tell of their experiences
with the poor in the context of solid ethical
and moral analysis based on the principles of
Catholic Social Thought moves students, faculty
and a broader public to action. We are indeed
fortunate that the two of them not only believe
in the option for the poor that we teach, but
act on it."
- Dr. Thomas A. Bausch, Executive
Director, International Association of Jesuit
Business Schools & Professor of Management,
Marquette University
