Lunch Seminar - How Change Happens: How Political and Social Change Takes Place and the Role of Individuals and Organization in Influencing that Change

Duncan Green will introduce his new book and provide a chance for the audience to challenge, engage and add their own perspectives. How Change Happens explores how political and social change takes place, and the role of individuals and organizations in influencing that change.

He will discuss the challenges that ‘systems thinking’ creates for traditional activism and aid, and how a ‘power and systems approach’ requires activists, whether in campaigns, companies or governments, to fundamentally rethink the way they understand the world and try to influence it.
