“A Greater Interest” ft. Hope College’s Stacy Jackson I Saturdays at Seven Ep. 24

In the twenty-fourth episode of the “Saturdays at Seven” conversation series, Todd Ream talks with Stacy Jackson, the Kenneth J. Weller '48 Professor of Management and Chair of the Department of Economics and Business at Hope College. Jackson begins by recounting the lessons he learned while working for organizations such as NASA and Ernst & Young and then what lessons eventually drew him to teaching and research. Jackson then offers some observations concerning where organizational psychology fits within the larger fields of business and psychology and the opportunities that exist for the integration of faith and learning. Ream and Jackson shift their focus to the myriad of ways liberal arts disciplines are critical to the study and eventual practice of business. They then close their conversation by talking about the ways that laypersons who study business can be of service to the Church.
