Episode 2 of The Now Work's new podcast 'The Future of Impact Work' is available now.

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

This was a fascinating conversation, covering Panthea’s background and early career, and their experience working to centre local communities in international development work with large-scale, technocratic institutions.

We discussed:

  • How to address inefficiencies in large-scale development programmes by centring affecting communities in design and decision-making
  • How to facilitate real collaboration between grassroots organisations, activists and powerful technocratic agencies
  • Corruption and the public sector
  • The importance of confronting historical truths
  • How to engage in reparative justice
  • Reshaping work cultures to address individualism and saviourism

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.
