We're delighted to see our alumni finding ways to give back. Thank you Dr. Shawn Ginwright PhD '99. Plus, if you're looking for a book, this is from the description of "The Four Pivots: Reimagining Justice, Reimagining Ourselves" ... Shawn Ginwright, PhD, breaks down the common myths of social movements–a set of deeply ingrained beliefs that actually hold us back from healing and achieving sustainable systemic change. He shows us why these frames don’t work, proposing instead four revolutionary pivots for better activism and collective leadership: Awareness: from lens to mirror Connection: from transactional to transformative relationships Vision: from problem-fixing to possibility-creating Presence: from hustle to flow Supplemented with reflections, prompts, cutting-edge research, and the author’s own insights and lived experience as an African American social scientist, professor, and movement builder, The Four Pivots helps us uncover our obstruction points. It shows us how to discover new lenses and boldly assert our need for connection, transformation, trust, wholeness, and healing. It gives us permission to create a better future–to acknowledge that a broken system has been predefining our dreams and limiting what we allow ourselves to imagine, but that it doesn’t have to be that way at all. Are you ready to pivot? #SummerReading #pivot

I am incredibly impressed by Purdue's 3-Minute Thesis finalists, especially Paul Knudsen. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about his creative solutions to island disaster response logistics in the presentation below, given how unfortunately common it is these days. For those looking to geek out on the need for building resilient systems, fostering institutional collaboration, and capitalizing on competitive advantages check out his paper --> https://lnkd.in/gHuWbqS3
