NEW ESSAY - Over on the Columbia University School of Professional Studies Nonprofit Management page, I argue that the work in our masters program is part of the "laboratory of democracy" and a real antidote to extremism and the threat of authoritarianism in this country. This is my 10th year teaching masters students at Columbia University - and more and more, I'm thinking about the role of the social sector in preserving and improving our democracy.

"As I look forward to this contentious political year, I can’t help but think that much of the work of protecting and extending democracy will follow the very pathways hacked through the gathering wilderness of extremism by our graduates committed to both building institutional strength and extending liberal social values."

Love to know what you think. 🦁
