On Thursday, February 21, 2013, starting at 6:15 PM, Dr. Zachary D. Kaufman, editor of Social Entrepreneurship in the Age of Atrocities, will deliver a book talk at the 2013 Ashoka U Exchange in San Diego, California. The event will be held at the Westin Gaslamp Quarter Hotel.
Dr. Kaufman’s talk will be part of a session featuring select new books on social entrepreneurship. Moderated by Christopher Gergen, Founding Executive Director of Bull City Forward and co-author of Life Entrepreneurs: Ordinary People Creating Extraordinary Lives, the session will also feature:
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.”
