    This Necessary Conversation is sponsored by the Donahue Center for Business Ethics & Social Responsibility in the Manning School of Business at UMass-Lowell.

    Topic for this Conversation:  It is no secret that humanity is facing multiple crises. We will explore the role of the global, cultural narrative about economics and humanity and discuss how this narrative is shifting. Learning from System Change that has occurred in the past, we will discuss strategies to shift the current unsustainable economic system towards an economy in service to life. We will particularly focus on current ongoing efforts of the newly founded Well Being Economy Alliance.
