Over the next two months, I am going to be blogging about some of the intersection of arts and culture and social change efforts, some grassroots and others top-down. These blog entries are part of some research on international cultural policy that I'm conducting with the guidance of Professor Ruth Ann Stewart at NYU's Wagner School of Public Service.
For the most part, I will commenting on panel discussions and lectures on this theme taking place here in New York City. If you want to check out any these events (the first has already passed), you can click on the links below to find out more information. And if you hear of other events I should attend, please let me know.

[I still have so much to share with you from my time in Uganda, but it will unfortunately have to wait until after graduation in May. Below is a Uganda teaser: a troop of young performers from two orphanages who have mastered Uganda's diverse forms of music and dance and were in residence at Uganda's National Theatre the weeks I was working there. I got to sneak into a rehearsal and was blown away by their talent and professionalism. The youths below are playing traditional cowhide drums called ngoma that wobbled and spun around as they were energetically pounded.]
