Religious Diversity at Work: Fostering Inclusiveness and Understanding
Joyce Dubensky and Mark Fowler, Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding
ALA, in partnership with Joyce Dubensky, Executive Vice President & CEO, Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious
Understanding (Tanenbaum), and Mark Fowler, Director of Programs at Tanenbaum, have produced a series of three
podcasts on religion at work especially designed for law firm administrators.
About Tanenbaum:
Tanenbaum works to reduce religious ignorance and prevent hatred and violence perpetrated in the name of religion
by supporting religious peacemakers who struggle in areas of armed conflict and by overcoming religious intolerance
in workplaces, health care settings and schools.
In this series of podcasts, Joyce and Mark navigate this difficult terrain in order to share some better practices
with members of ALA.
