About the Project (and me)

This project arose out of a belief that many people want to do good but don’t know how. Our class’s impending graduation comes with a renewed recognition that 1. we individually and collectively have limited time, energy, and resources to engage with that good and 2. the world is profoundly unfair and beyond our individual capacity to fix. The question that arises then is: what ought we do and how should we do it? This set of podcasts comes nowhere close to providing answers. What it does do, or at least what I hope it does do is provide a useful start by looking at a few ways that Swarthmore students have thought about and acted upon their desire to do good.
