Dr. Kevin Danaher

Described by The New York Times as the "Paul Revere of globalization's
woes," Dr. Kevin Danaher's analytical expertise, sense of humor and blunt
eloquence make him an exceptionally dynamic speaker. Dr. Danaher is a
co-founder of the Human Rights group Global Exchange and has spoken at
hundreds of universities and for community organizations throughout the U.S.
He conducts workshops on issues ranging from the dynamics of the global
economy to how we can replace the power of transnational corporations with
local green economy networks. A longtime critic of the so-called "free
trade" agenda, Dr. Danaher explains how we can create 'grassroots
globalization', empowering local communities to create sustainable local
economies. In his presentations, he not only provides a detailed analysis of
what is wrong, but he also gives inspiring examples of what we can do to
make things right.

Dr. Danaher is the author and/or editor of numerous books, including his
latest, Insurrection: Citizen Challenges to Corporate Power [Routledge
Press]. Dr. Danaher has also published: Ten Reasons to Abolish the IMF and
World Bank; Democratizing the Global Economy: The Battle Against the World
Bank and the IMF; Corporations Are Gonna Get Your Momma: Globalization and
the Downsizing of the American Dream; Globalize This!: The Battle Against
the World Trade Organization; Fighting for the Soul of Brazil; 50 Years Is
Enough: The Case Against the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund;
In Whose Interest: A Guide to US-South Africa Relations; Can the Free Market
Solve Africa's Food Crisis; The Political Economy of US Policy Toward South
Africa; South Africa: A New US Policy for the 1990s; and Beyond Safaris: A
Guide to Building People-to-People Ties with Africa.

He has published articles in The Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle,
The International Herald Tribune, The Financial Times of Zimbabwe, Africa
News, TransAfrica Forum, Harvard Educational Review, Issue, The Progressive
and many other publications. His writing has covered subjects such as "US
Agriculture and Its Impact on Third World Farming, "Hidden Costs of the War
with Iraq," and "Challenging the Leadership of the World Economy."

Dr. Danaher is an executive producer of the Green Festivals, two-day events
bringing together hundred of green economy companies, social justice and
environmental organizations, speakers, live music, organic food and drink,
and tens of thousands of attendees hungry for a transition to the green
economy. He is also the Executive Director of the Global Citizen Center (a
permanent Green Festival -- www.globalcitizencenter.org). The Global Citizen
Center is a downtown San Francisco building that will unite the local Green
Economy in a mixed-use, multi-tenant facility featuring non-profit offices,
green businesses and multi-cultural event space.

Dr. Danaher has traveled widely in Africa, the Caribbean, Central America,
North America and Europe. He is familiar with the problems and prospects of
economic development in diverse cultural settings. Dr. Danaher is a veteran
activist and has special expertise on the following subjects: the Local
Green Economy; the Two Globalizations (Elite vs. Grassroots); Policies of
the World Bank; WTO and International Monetary Fund; US Foreign Policy and
Activist Strategies for Creating a Sustainable World.

Dr. Danaher received his doctorate in sociology from the University of
California at Santa Cruz in 1982. Before joining Global Exchange he was a
senior analyst at Food First/the Institute for Food and Development Policy,
an associate fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, DC,
and for four years he taught in the School of Government at American
University. He currently lives in San Francisco with his wife, Medea
Benjamin, and his two daughters, Arlen and Maya.
