Ted Lechterman

Future 5000 Research and Development Team

Ted - at - Future5000 - dot - com A rising junior at Harvard at the time of his work with Future 5000, Ted comes from a history of youth activism and heads toward a future in the progressive movement. His battles against an oppressive and discriminatory dress code, an Indian mascot, and student apathy in the budget process in his high school district landed him a feature in the New York Times and an interview on NBC's tri-state area affiliate. These experiences led him to pursue study in political theory, through which he hopes to develop dialogue between activism and academia. Ted is currently editor-in-chief of Eyes on the ICC (International Criminal Court), an emergent international law and policy journal published by the Council for American Students in International Negotiations.
