What Are We Doing Here Anyway?

When I first started working with Jordi, the idea was that we would work on a project that would make starting or participating in social innovation and entrepreneurship (I’ll call it SEI for the time being, see our Name Struggles post) “activities” a more cohesive and smooth process. I’ve interviewed a few Bucknell students and graduates and I’ve finally started to attempt to use this blog, but where is that actually taking me? What can I actually do that will benefit the community, or at very least the Bucknell community? In David Bornstein’s How to Change the World, it’s mentioned that the problem with people “doing good” is that there are people who know how to make things happen but don’t have the ideas, and people that have great ideas but don’t know how to implement them. In all honesty, I’m not sure which person I am, but perhaps as I continue to rant about how I haven’t done much yet, I will find out.

One reply on “What Are We Doing Here Anyway?”

That is a great distinction. Maybe my problem is I try to be 50% of each.

A possible research question is how often successful SEI projects have both at their core.

Is Molly Burke the person in BAP who gets things done? Or someone else?
