On Saturday, September 29, 2012, Dr. Zachary D. Kaufman, editor of Social Entrepreneurship in the Age of Atrocities, delivered a lecture about the book at a conference hosted by Humanity in Action (HIA). The event was held in New York City. Dr. Kaufman is an HIA Senior Fellow and a member of HIA’s American Planning Board.
After the lecture, Dr. Kaufman chaired the conference’s keynote panel, “Senior Fellows in Action: Lessons in Social Entrepreneurship from the Humanity in Action Community,” which included Sophie Raseman, contributor to Social Entrepreneurship in the Age of Atrocities and an HIA Senior Fellow. The other panelists–all HIA Senior Fellows–were:
How can anyone make a difference in a world marked by genocide, civil war, refugee crises, disease epidemics? With conscience, hope, and sweat equity, Dr. Zachary Kaufman and the other contributors to this book have offered aid, created organizations serving victims of human rights violations, and learned from set-backs and failures. Their insight into challenges of sustainable fund-raising, organizational design and management, and skepticism about young Western volunteers can inspire and instruct others who hope to address suffering and injustice through initiative, analysis, and commitment.”
