Abstract of the talk: Applying a critical perspective can help us to think differently about the work we do in the philanthropic sector and how we do the work to alleviate oppressions and bring about just futures. This presentation draws on several research projects and practice examples to make an argument for using a critical perspective to reframe our research and practice in the philanthropic field through: Revealing unexamined assumptions, unintended consequences, and making invisible systems of power and oppression, visible; repairing or changing these systems of power and oppression; and (re)imagining better futures towards emancipation, transformation, equity, and justice.
