Description
As we head into the third calendar year of the pandemic, the unprecedented has led to the unpredictable. Along with mass layoffs, people quit at unheard of rates; stocks soared; short sellers lost out to Redditors; and issues surrounding climate change and diversity took on more prominence – including in the boardroom. But are these just trends, or are they here to stay? And when it comes to making corporations more sustainable and diverse, is real change even possible? In season 2 of Beyond Unprecedented, leading experts discuss these questions and more and examine law, business, and capital markets in a world changed by COVID-19.
Co-hosts Professor Eric Talley and Kate Waldock ’23 kick off the season with NPR's Stacey Vanek Smith JRN '03 to discuss what constitutes the new normal in the economy and preview upcoming episodes.
