In response to the recent Gaza war protests on the campus of Emory University, Azadeh Shahshahani, the legal and advocacy director for Project South, explains why the organization is standing in solidarity with students and asking for a thorough investigation regarding the heavy presence and actions of law enforcement.




Plus, Frances Kunreuther and Sean Thomas-Breitfeld, the co-executive directors of The Building Movement Project, discuss the new report “The Push and Pull: Declining Interest in Nonprofit Leadership.” The report examines how "pushing" people of color into leadership positions at nonprofits can have negative effects, and sometimes create organizational issues around diversity, equity and inclusion.




Lastly, for “Closer Look’s graduation series,” we hear from James McMahon. The 2024 graduate of Georgia State University talks about the obstacles he’s faced as a legally blind student and his journey to earning a second degree in history.
