Pizza and Politics: Becoming #PostShame: Embracing the Politics of Shamelessness and Cultivating a New Type of Teflon Candidate
Description
Meeting Method:
In-Person
Event Types:
Join the Harvard Kennedy School's LGBTQ Caucus and the IOP for a discussion with Adam MacLean, the co-chair of #EndHIV and the founder of PostShame.org, a non-profit dedicated to fostering a dialogue around shame and cultivating public leaders who are post-shame.
MacLean created a framework to help people acknowledge and work through the shame in their lives, whether it's from financial mismanagement, drug addiction, or sexual matters.
As a gay-identified man, MacLean made his work with LGBTQ individuals in mind who are coping with issues of shame related to their sexual orientation, identity and practices, but his framework is widely applicable beyond the LGBTQ community.
