Future of the American City Cape Ann Conversations: Mobilizing Power for Climate Action

Please join us on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, 12:30-2:00 PM ET for a virtual presentation by Harvard’s Julie Battilana. Julie Battilana is a professor of organizational behavior at Harvard Business School and social innovation at Harvard Kennedy School, where she is also the founder and faculty chair of the Social Innovation + Change Initiative. Professor Battilana's research examines the politics of change in organizations and in society. She’s especially focused on organizations and individuals that initiate and implement changes that diverge from the taken-for-granted norm—that break with the status quo.

Cape Ann Conversations are hosted by the Harvard GSD’s Office For Urbanization. These convenings form a portion of the ongoing multi-year climate adaptation research project for Cape Ann, Massachusetts, undertaken in collaboration with TownGreen, Water Alliance, the City of Gloucester, and the Town of Manchester-by-the-Sea.
