College of St. Joseph the Worker's Jacob Imam talks with Gomer

I was lucky to interview Jacob Imam about the merger between higher education and Catholic social justice principles, especially on the dignity of non-exploitative work and of the trades. Jacob lives in Steubenville, Ohio with his wife and kids and works at New Polity. He and Michael Sullivan launched the now approved College of St. Joseph the Worker.
