On Friday, March 1, 2013, the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business’s Center for Social Value Creation and the University of Maryland’s Center for International Development and Conflict Management (CIDCM) will co-host a book launch of Social Entrepreneurship in the Age of Atrocities. The event will be part of the University of Maryland’s 5th Annual Social Enterprise Symposium, which will be held from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM at the University of Maryland’s Stamp Student Union.
The event will be moderated by Dr. David Backer, CIDCM’s Assistant Director, and will feature:
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.”
