TEDxHGSE: Social Justice Leadership in Living Systems
In April 2014, I had the opportunity to present at TEDx HSGE (the Harvard Graduate School of Education, my alma mater). The ten minute
talk was entitled Social Justice Leadership in Living Systems, and it addressed the Separation Exercise research that is the focus of my book Race and Social Change: A Quest, A Study, A Call to Action.
