Exploring Mechanisms of Social Change

Funded by a Joseph P. Healey Grant from UMASS Boston and a Peace Research Grant from the IPRA Foundation, this project extends my ongoing focus on the impact of educational endeavors to explore how organizations engaged in education for activism are able to motivate young people to engage in social change activities.  The project draws on my long-standing relationship with the Israeli organization Sadaka Reut.
