Episode description

Episode 2 of The Future of Impact Work podcast features Panthea Lee, a writer, activist, and transdisciplinary designer / facilitator working for structural justice and collective liberation.

In this conversation Panthea shares about her experience working to centre local communities in international development work with large-scale, technocratic institutions. We explore the importance of confronting historical truths, centring reparative justice, and your own individual embodiment.

This is an eye-opening and expansive conversation and is a must-listen for anyone who is interested in large scale systems change and decolonising approaches.

The Future of Impact Work Podcast is brought to you by Hannah Phang, Laura Hunter and Sarah Penrhyn-Jones.
