How do we make activism an important part of our work? We sat down with three Antioch alumni for a panel discussion of this key question.
So many of us seek to meaningfully improve our communities and world—but it’s not always clear how we can combine that work with our careers. Seeking answers, we talked to three Antioch alumni who have grappled with this question in their own lives and work. Deb Moy is empowering transit workers in the Bay Area. Max Golding founded a tenant union in Santa Barbara. Isaias Narvaez connects you with resources in Los Angeles. In this conversation, they offer insights and an inspiring look at how three people have made activism an important part of their work.
Visit Antioch’s website to learn more about the MA in Clinical Psychology program at our Los Angeles campus that Isaias attended, the MA in Clinical Psychology program at our Santa Barbara campus that Max attended, and the online Doctor of Education program in which Deb is currently studying.
