Zoe Bedell joined the US Marine Corps in 2007 and served for four 
years as a logistics officer, completing two deployments to 
Afghanistan. While in Afghanistan, Zoe ran a program called the 
Female Engagement Team, where her team of over 45 female 
Marines engaged with Afghan men and women. In 2012, Zoe joined 
four other plaintiffs and the American Civil Liberties Union in a 
lawsuit challenging the Department of Defense's policy of excluding 
women from combat units. Zoe worked at an investment bank for 
two years before coming to Harvard Law. 

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
