Inspired by the prospect of video case studies several years ago, the Institute partnered with DePaul College of Communication faculty member Kim Clark to create a documentary television series focusing on issues of social justice and poverty alleviation.
Big Questions is part documentary, part talk show, and engages with some of the world's most critical challenges. Patricia Werhane and Kim Clark serve as hosts, each bringing years of experience and knowledge to help shed light on new ideas and projects that are changing the way the world works.
The stories range from Chicago-focused issues such as food deserts and national issues like criminal recidivism, to international topics of health care in Ghana and Tanzania and microlending in Bangladesh.
The series won a 2015 Chicago/Midwest Emmy Award.
