SUMMARY:[CANCELED] Lecture on Philanthropy and Funding of Civil Society in Southeast Asia for Master Program Students in Social Innovation & Sustainability\, School of Global Studies\, Thammasat University (closed event)
DESCRIPTION:On 5 April SEA Junction Director\, Dr. Rosalia Sciortino\, will hold two interrelated classes on philanthropy and funding of civil society as part of the course Contemporary Sustainability Issues under the Master of Social Innovation and Sustainability\, School of Global Studies\, Thammasat University. \nThe lecture will present an overview of the evolving state of philanthropy in Southeast Asia\, driven by global and local stimuli and shaped by often conflicting notions of charity\, development\, and business. Despite the lack of a strong enabling environment\, new\, home-grown foundations and local forms of institutionalized giving continue to emerge. At the same time\, changes in the donor landscape and shifts in philanthropic paradigms towards business-like and technocratic approaches affect how development causes are funded. In the process\, gaps have begun to appear in how work by civil society organizations on human rights and social justice is funded; this may jeopardize more equitable and inclusive development. The lecture will draw on the following articles: \nhttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/287260464_Learning_Across_Boundaries_Grantmaking_Activism_in_the_Greater_Mekong_Subregion \nhttps://www.ssoar.info/ssoar/bitstream/handle/document/62684/ssoar-aseas-2017-2-sciortino-Philanthropy_in_Southeast_Asia_between.pdf;jsessionid=A9353E5B3EBC55D449F5DFE8D13BD1B3?sequence=1 \nhttps://www.ssoar.info/ssoar/bitstream/handle/document/62836/ssoar-aseas-2017-2-sciortino-Philanthropy_Giving_and_Development_in.pdf?sequence=1 \nhttps://www.newmandala.org/weilding-purse-strings/ \nLecturer \nDr. Rosalia (Lia) Sciortino Sumaryono\, a cultural anthropologist and development sociologist by training\, earned her doctorate at the Vrije Universities\, Amsterdam with honors.
