Radical Scholar, Inc. Details
Radical Scholar, Inc. is a Non-Profit educational corporation with 501(c)(3) operational status in the United States. Although situated within the U.S., our focus is global. The goal of the organization is to foster dialogue between various thought communities around the world in an effort to build consensus as we prepare for the future of humanity. The idea for Radical Scholar was conceived and later launched in 2006 when Baruti KMT-Sisouvong recognized the need for an entity that would bring diverse thinkers and threads of information together in one place to facilitate asking critical questions and creating positive personal and social change.What is a "Radical Scholar?" Given the etymological meaning of the word "radical" from Late Latin "radicalis," which denotes ROOT i.e., relating or pointing to the origin or base/cause as in being "fundamental," and our goal of providing a synthesis of people and ideas in this space, the word was chosen. In considering the word "scholar," we see one as being "a learned person." Therefore, "radical," when coupled with "scholar," produces "radical scholar" and is defined as a learned person who provides the framework to rethink the world in which we live from an all-encompassing perspective, by synthesizing diverse strands of knowing and spheres of knowledge with the goal of understanding and articulating any phenomenon in question.
