Inspired by an early conversation with Dr. Cornel West at Princeton, Wright began hosting conversations with resettled families, physicians, humanitarians, former soldiers, and members of the diplomatic corps in Berlin, Rome, and across the Kingdom of Jordan, including with foreign minister Dr. Marwan Muasher. Since then, Wright has conducted dialogues with international civil servants on the margins of global summits in New York and Geneva, in recognition of the Socratic maxim that "Wisdom begins in wonder."
