Continuing to build on the success of The Measure of America, Humantific is again collaborating with American Human Development Project authors Sarah Burd-Sharps, Kristen Lewis, Eduardo Borges Martins and Oxfam America to create a new specialized Human Development Report, this time focused on Louisiana. Based on apples-to-apples data the report series has been conceived as an extendable, adaptable Social SenseMaking platform that inspires, informs and drives social change in the United States.
The original Measure of America report that was jointly published by Columbia University Press and the Social Science Research Council in July 2008 has already become a significant change force referenced by many community leaders, news organizations and on hundreds of blogs around the world. Each report is utilized locally by citizens and community leaders to help drive meaningful social change. We continue to see rising awareness that Social SenseMaking plays a key role in Social Transformation. Portrait of Louisiana will be published this summer. If you would like to be notified when Portrait of Louisiana is published send an email to us here: projects (at) humantific (dot) com.
