Northwestern Professor of Management and Organizations Brayden King will be joined by Phil Radford (Founder, Progressive Multiplier) and Kady McFadden (Deputy Director, Illinois Sierra Club) for a conversation about the need for collective action to alleviate the perils of the current environmental crisis -- and the obstacles such action may face.
