Pierce Gordon, Ph.D. is my guest on the show this week. We talked innovation in the face of COVID and the importance of equity and systems change in innovation. 

Dr. Gordon's Ph.D. from the University of California Berkeley, specializes in interdisciplinary research that unpacks how communities value, support, and practice innovation in social justice and international development. 

His research and consultation work has tracked and supported the field's spread, complexity, and emergence. Whether conducting ethnographic analyses and facilitation projects in the Botswana innovation ecosystem, or by co-founding Reflex Design Collective, an equity design consultancy that's worked for creative social justice in the Bay Area, his core aim is to catalyze good social change.
