Paul Kivel is an American writer, educator, and activist. Kivel co-founded the Oakland Men's Project, a community education center focused on preventing male violence, and has been called "an innovative leader in violence prevention."[1]
For most of his career, Kivel has focused on writing, education programs, and training programs designed to prevent male violence and youth violence, combat discrimination, and promote social justice.
