Improbable Ingredients
Hope is an alloy of improbable ingredients. Grief over global destruction, brought on by humans, brings together a community filled with hope and a passion to mend what’s been broken. Ingredients such as rage, trauma, visibility, and determination lead to action in the name of hope. We discover that we have capacities within us to help others globally that we did not know had in ourselves.

Douglas Creed, a Professor of Management at the University of Rhode Island. Most of his research has looked in some way at issues of workplace diversity and organizational change processes for greater inclusion and equity. In the late 1990s, he conducted award-winning research on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) employees’ grassroots efforts to end workplace inequities based on sexual orientation and gender identity. His current research focuses on the challenges associated with multi-stakeholder collaboration across societal fault lines (such as inequality based on class or race) in addressing city resilience challenges.
