Our times demand different ways of thinking about the issues that we face in order to shape a better future. To create change we require new ideas, new models, new leadership.  We cannot do just more of the same. David Bornstein, New York Times journalist, author, and changemaker, will join the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies at the University of San Diego to share his knowledge and expertise on “how social innovation can shape a better world”.

This event is part of the Kroc School’s and USD’s efforts to make social innovation and social entrepreneurship mainstream in higher education.

David Bornstein is a journalist and author who focuses on social innovation. He co-authors the Fixes column in The New York Times Opinionator section, which explores and analyzes potential solutions to major social problems. He is the co-founder of the Solutions Journalism Network, which supports journalists who report on constructive responses to social problems. His books include How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas, The Price of a Dream: The Story of the Grameen Bank, and Social Entrepreneurship: What Everyone Needs to Know. He is currently completing a book on social innovation in the U.S. and Canada. He currently resides in New York.
