Thinker In Residence
Thinkers in Residence is a program in Adelaide, South Australia, designed to bring leaders in their fields to work with the South Australian community and government in developing new ideas and approaches to problem-solving, and to promote South Australia.

In 2013 by the Don Dunstan Foundation hosted Thinker Martin Elbourne to help revitalise the local music industry. After an hiatus for three years and a formal transition to the Foundation in 2016, the annual program restarted under the Foundation, with a slight change in focus and enabling multiple Thinkers to focus on one issue each year. A new model introduced in 2017 focussed on social capital, while also addressing job creation. It was known as the Social Capital Residencies program from 2017 to 2018.

Common Ground (NYC)
Breaking Ground, formerly Common Ground, is a nonprofit social services organization in New York City whose goal is to create high-quality permanent and transitional housing for the homeless. Its philosophy holds that supportive housing costs substantially less than homeless shelters — and many times less than jail cells or hospital rooms, and that people with psychiatric and other problems can better manage them once they are permanently housed and provided with services. Since its founding in 1990 by Rosanne Haggerty, the organization has created more than 5,000 units of housing for the homeless. "This is about creating a small town, rather than just a building," according to Haggerty. "It's about a real mixed society, working with many different people." Haggerty left the organization in 2011 to found Community Solutions, Inc. Brenda Rosen was promoted from Director, Housing Operations and Programs to Executive Director, and has led the organization since. Breaking Ground ...

Life and work Herbert Girardet was born in 1943, the son of a publishing executive. After reading history at Tübingen and Berlin universities, he moved to London in 1964 and embraced the nascent counterculture then taking hold there: the literary editor Diana Athill, who knew him during this time, described him in her memoir ''Make Believe'' as "the drop-out son of a rich German family... deep in the process of discovering his own loathing of capitalism, violence, and racism." Girardet befriended the Black Power activist Hakim Jamal and followed him to Guyana, where their attempt to establish a utopian commune devoted to black self-realisation quickly foundered amid the chaos caused by Jamal's mental illness.George Hassett (19 February 2020)'The Life and Death of Hakim Jamal' ''Boston Institute for Non-Profit Journalism''.
