On Interest Area:
“Critical reflection and engagements with our own assumptions about social and political change, service to others and building alternatives is at the heart of dynamic, creative change.”
On Teaching at Antioch:
“I have long found great inspiration and support from people who engage life with a passion that comes from unbridled curiosity, a sharp and critical intellect and a rich sense of humor. These are exactly the kinds of people you find in the Center for Creative Change!
