How business schools are dealing with the rise in cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency courses have become a big deal in a short amount of time much like cryptocurrencies themselves. As recently as three years ago, it still seemed disreputable for business schools to teach about Bitcoin or other electronic currencies that are secured through online databases. “At the very beginning, there was a misconception that cryptos were funny money and a speculative tool,” says Henry Kim, associate professor at the Schulich School of Business, York University, and director and co-founder of the school’s blockchain.lab. “Business schools didn’t want to teach that because they thought it was faddish.”
Bernice Downey ‘09, ‘14
Faculty of Social Sciences
Downey is driven to create change and says it’s why she chose a health profession. A mother and grandmother of Ojibwe and Celtic heritage, she received a BSc in nursing from the University of Ottawa then came to McMaster after gaining experience in the nursing field to pursue her masters, PhD and post-doctoral work in medical anthropology.
A life-long advocate in the work of addressing the serious health inequalities among Indigenous populations in Canada, Downey continued at McMaster after her studies, joining the School of Nursing in 2017, cross-appointed with the Department of Psychiatry and Neuro-Behavioural Sciences. She also led the Indigenous Health Initiative with the Faculty of Health Sciences and the development of the McMaster Indigenous Research Institute.
