Anindya Kundu suggests that everyone can succeed if provided collective support systems and opportunities.
Why you should listen
Dr. Anindya Kundu is an acclaimed public scholar, sociologist and author who studies how some people break through barriers that should stop them — and what that reveals about opportunity systems, inequality and human potential. His work challenges the idea that success is simply about grit or individual effort. Instead, he explores how relationships, institutions and experiences shape people’s ability to build agency and create positive change in their own lives and in the lives of others.
Kundu is an associate professor at Florida International University and the author of The Power of Student Agency and Transforming Educational Leadership. His forthcoming book, Outside In, examines how to supercharge your agency by leveraging different sociological environments, from the structural to the interpersonal.
