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:
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.”
