Social Justice Philanthropy: Implications for Practice and Policy
One-day conference, Friday 1 March 2013
NCVO, 8 All Saints Street, London, N1 9RL
What is social justice philanthropy?
How do philanthropic foundations pursue social justice?
What are the experiences of progressive grant-givers and recipients?
This one-day conference will bring together academics, policy-makers and practitioners, in order to gain a greater understanding about how philanthropy operates in practice and the moral judgments that underpin charitable giving.
It will explore both the theoretical and the day-to-day context in which decisions about philanthropic giving are made. What are the traditions, customs and rules that influence grant-givers? It will also analyse the concept of social justice philanthropy and ask whether it offers a significantly new model of philanthropy.
Proposals for 20 minute papers are sought from academics, policy-makers and practitioners. We are particularly keen to include reflections from grant-givers on their day-to-day experiences.
Please email a 300 word abstract and brief biography to Dr Emily Robinson: e.a.robinson@kent.ac.uk by Friday 30 November 2012.
