EVC’s founding director, Steve Goodman, has worked closely with students throughout his career to help them leverage the power of storytelling in transforming their own lives. Steve’s new book, It’s Not About Grit: Trauma, Inequity and the Power of Transformative Teaching, captures a number of these eye-opening and inspiring stories.

We invite you to attend a talk on one of the dates and locations outlined below to hear Steve discuss his observations as well as share student footage that accompanies the book.

You can find more information about the book here.
