MIT D-Lab, the International Development Innovation Network, the MIT Comprehensive Initiative on Technology Evaluation, and the MIT Museum are pleased to invite you to a book talk on How Change Happens written by Oxfam GB's Duncan Green. Duncan will share his insights and invite conversation on how we can better navigate complex systems, power, and social norms to create change.

How Change Happens explores how political and social change takes place, and the role of individuals and organizations in influencing that change. He discusses the challenges that 'systems thinking' creates for traditional aid practices, and how a 'power and systems approach' requires activists, whether in campaigns, companies or governments, to fundamentally rethink the way they understand the world and try to influence it.
