Paul
Loeb has spent over thirty years researching and writing
about citizen responsibility and empowerment--asking what makes
some people choose lives of social commitment, while others abstain.
Born
in California in 1952, Loeb attended Stanford University and New
York's New School for Social Research, and worked in both places
to end the Vietnam War. Loeb has written for a wide range of publications
and authored numerous books. His book, “Soul of a Citizen:
Living with Conviction in a Cynical Time,” looks at what it
takes to lead lives of social commitment despite all the obstacles.
Loeb’s new anthology on political hope, “the Impossible
Will Take a Little While,” was published in September 2004.
He
has lectured to enthusiastic responses at 300 colleges and universities
around the country, and been a lead speaker at numerous conferences
including the National Education Association and the National Youth
Leadership Council. His January 2002 talk at the annual provost's
conference of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities
inspired what is now a 200-campus American Democracy Project. Loeb
is also an affiliate scholar at Seattle's Center for Ethical Leadership. |
