Edward Queen, Kate Randall join Center as new Ethics and Servant Leadership team

The Center for Ethics is pleased to welcome Edward Queen and Kate O'Dwyer Randall as the new leadership team of the D. Abbott Turner Program in 'Ethics and Servant Leadership' (EASL).
As new EASL director, Edward Queen brings with him his passion for undergraduate teaching, his nonprofit consulting experience, and his expertise in servant leadership. He joined the Center in mid-July.

Edward Queen was Senior Researcher on the Charitable Choice Implementation Project at the Center for Urban Policy and the Environment at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. He received his B.A. from Birmingham-Southern College, his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, and his J.D. from the Indiana University School of Law-Indianapolis.

The founding director of the Islamic Society of North America’s Fellowship Program in Nonprofit Management and Governance, Queen also serves as consultant to the Faculty of Law, South East European University, Tetovo, Macedonia and to Indianapolis College, an English language college working in Pakistan, India, and the Gulf States. Queen previously directed the Religion and Philanthropy Project at the Indiana University Center on Philanthropy and served as program officer at Lilly Endowment.

A specialist in issues related to religion and culture, Queen’s research interests are religion and nonprofits, professional ethics, democratization, human rights, and civil society. He has written, coauthored, or edited numerous books on these topics, including Serving Those In Need: A Handbook for Managing Faith-Based Human Services Organizations (2000), Philanthropy in the World’s Traditions (1998), and The Encyclopedia of American Religious History (1992, rev. ed. 2002).

In early August Kate Randall joined EASL as Assistant Director. She received her BA from Radford University in Virginia and her Master’s degree in Divinity from Candler School of theology at Emory University.

While in seminary she started a weekly "faith and justice" conversation group at Agnes Scott College, served as the lay Catholic campus minister, and worked with the Volunteer Office and Alternative Break programs.

Prior to coming to seminary, Randall served in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps and worked for the Servant Leadership School in Washington, DC where she taught classes about issues of inner city poverty, social justice and servant leadership, as well as taught GED classes to adult learners.
Randall’s research interests include feminist ethics, and worker ethics, particularly living wage and human rights issues in Haiti.

Former EASL director Melissa Snarr moved to Nashville in August to take a post as Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt Divinity School. Former assistant director Mary Sue Brookshire moved to San Diego in May to be near her fiance Mark LeMay.

The faculty and staff of the Center for Ethics hope that you will join us in welcoming Edward Queen and Kate Randall to the Emory community.
