From Passion to Politics: What Moves People to Take Action?
Archives
About
The 2007 Colloquium will explore a vital question: what motivates people to move beyond cognitive awareness of a major policy problem to take actual steps to make change? It will focus on what factors and motivations spur people to care about something happening half a world away, as well as in their own communities; the reasons people don't care, and even if they do, still don't act; and what can be done to teach people how to diagnose, solve, and implement solutions to policy problems. Through keynote speeches and panel sessions organized in collaboration with departments and programs from across Princeton University, the Colloquium will challenge audiences - students, alumni, faculty, members of the community, and press - to debate the insights generated in light of the problems facing our community, our nation, and our world.
