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 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.”
