Rebecca Todd Peters, professor of religious studies, presented a paper titled “Examining the Value of Solidarity as a Moral Foundation for Poverty Alleviation” at the fifth-annual Jepson Colloquium in Richmond, Va. The colloquium was sponsored by the Jepson School of Leadership Studies at the University of Richmond and this year’s theme of “Leadership and Global Justice” was designed as an interdisciplinary discussion examining the philosophical, moral, economic, environmental and political dimensions of justice beyond national borders with attention to organized efforts to move toward such a reality.
