From Saturday, March 22 to Monday, March 24, 2014, Dr. Zachary D. Kaufman, editor of Social Entrepreneurship in the Age of Atrocities, will deliver 5 book talks at a conference on “The Liberal Arts, Civic Engagement, and Social Entrepreneurship” in Istanbul, Turkey, co-hosted by Bard College and the Open Society Foundations. The talks are as follows:
This splendid book is more than a primer on social entrepreneurship for human rights in the developing world. It is also a compendium of searing testimony about the immense practical challenges that idealistic changemakers can overcome by dint of their unflagging energy, incandescent visions of humanity and justice, and on-the-ground skills and resourcefulness. Zachary Kaufman has performed a great public service in orchestrating this admirable volume about how hope for the future can be vindicated even under the most unpromising conditions.”
