- Described by The New York Times as the “Paul Revere of globalization’s woes,” Dr. Kevin Danaher is a Co-founder of Global Exchange, a human rights research and action center in San Francisco. Kevin received his PhD in sociology from the University of California at Santa Cruz, and his BA from Sonoma State University. He is the author and/or editor of 11 books, including his latest, Insurrection: Citizen Challenges to Corporate Power. He has lectured at universities and to community organizations throughout the United States. He has appeared on television and radio shows around the country. He has published articles in the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, the International Herald Tribune, Harvard Educational Review, the Nation, and many others. His other books include: Ten Reasons to Abolish the IMF and the World Bank; Democratizing the Global Economy: The Battle Against the World Bank and International Monetary Fund; Corporations are Gonna Get Your Mama: Globalization and the Downsizing of the American Dream; and Globalize This: The Struggle Against the World Trade Organization and Corporate Power.
- Kevin’s current projects include the Green Festival (www.greenfestivals.org), a weekend gathering (co-produced with Coop America) of 400 green companies, nonprofit social change organizations, more than 100 exciting speakers, organic vegetarian restaurants, diverse live music and much more. His other project, building off the Green Festival, is the Global Citizen Center (globalcitizencenter.org), which is developing a nonprofit real estate model that is bringing together green retail (GreenMart), offices of nonprofit social justice and environmental organizations, affordable housing, and events in a downtown location in San Francisco. This building, which will be the convergence center for the transition to a green economy, is being developed as a prototype that can be replicated in other cities around the world.
