Description:
Changing the world is difficult. One reason is that the most important problems, like climate change, racism, and poverty, are structural. They emerge from our collective practices: laws, economies, history, culture, norms, and built environments. The dilemma is that there is no way to make structural change without individual people making different—more structure-facing—decisions. In this presentation by Somebody Should Do Something co-author Alex Madva, learn how we, as CSU administrators, employees, and faculty, can connect our personal choices and social roles to structural change, and why individual choices matter, though not in the way people usually think.??
