On Tuesday, July 16, 2013, starting at 6:00 PM, Dr. Zachary D. Kaufman, editor of Social Entrepreneurship in the Age of Atrocities, will deliver a 5-minute “Pitch” about the Kigali Public Library (one of the book’s case studies). The event will be held at the Case Foundation (1717 Rhode Island Avenue, NW, 7th Floor, Washington, DC 20036) and will be co-sponsored by Young Professionals in Foreign Policy and Pitch Salon.
Back to News & EventsThis book makes an all too rare and important point: One of the distinguishing characteristics of social entrepreneurs is the way their actions and their example pave the way for peace. Kaufman gives us multiple examples here to demonstrate that the kind of empathetic leadership exhibited by these social entrepreneurs builds an alternative to conflict and contributes to the stability and security of societies.”
