Author Information

A former member of Purdue University’s faculty, Andrea Nelson Trice holds a PhD from the University of Michigan, and is an independent scholar. However, her most valuable attributes for this book began to develop when she was a child living in the Peruvian rainforest – curiosity, a willingness to pause and listen to voices that are often muted, and a deep sensitivity to inequalities. Using that mix of experiences, Trice has published research on power dynamics and empowerment for more than two decades. She was a Senior Fellow of the Sagamore Institute, and is a Senior Associate of the Institute for Social Impact, working also as a consultant to non-profits and social enterprises operating in the USA and across the Majority World.
