Came across this article right before class. When Isham first mentioned the center for social entrepreneurship, I originally thought of it as a potential hub, or impetus, to consolidate the existing bodies on campus and propel them forward. The analogy to the particle accelerator is pretty cool, and germane, too.
Seems very relevant to the class as well. This sentence really struck me: “Many problems we have today – including social and economic instabilities, wars, disease spreading – are related to human behavior, but there is apparently a serious lack of understanding regarding how society and the economy work.”
Ties into the idea of agency and how something like this could be really beneficial to people looking to make a difference.
