Social Innovation in Review

What's this website all about?

From January to June of 2005, I co-wrote a column called "Social Innovation" for the student newspaper at Stanford University. We published interviews with inspiring leaders in social change, and columns on the social innovation movement.

On this website, the interviews and columns available for everyone interested in social innovation and social change. There are many problems in the world, and these leaders show us how to start solving them. Read on and enjoy!

Special thanks to the professors that teach and support social entrepreneurship at Stanford, and to the students, especially Tony Wang, who will someday lead it.
