His approach to these economic classes has been featured in the Boston Globe, the U.S. News & World Report, as well as on the NPR program “Here & Now.” Since 2009, he has been working with the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society and was, until recently, Treasurer, Board Member, as well as an Associate Director of the Academic Programs.
