What if wealth could be used to connect, heal and restore? Edgar Villanueva, a globally recognized expert on social justice philanthropy and award-winning author of Decolonizing Wealth: Indigenous Wisdom to Heal Divides and Restore Balance, seeks to answer these questions in his bestselling book offering hopeful and compelling alternatives to the dynamics of colonization in the philanthropic and social finance sectors.
Villanueva will speak via a Zoom lecture as part of the Center for Civic Engagement & Learning’s (CCEL) Social Change Series, which highlights a different form of civic engagement that contributes to social change each month. November’s theme is “Philanthropy,” and Villanueva will offer strategies that attendees, particularly young people engaging in philanthropy and other social change processes, can use to combat systems of oppression and advance justice, reciprocity, and equity.
The discussion is free and open to the public and will take place Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 5:30 p.m. (EST). Register online.
This event is co-sponsored by Lambda Eta Mu, the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences Master of Nonprofit Organizations (MNO) Program, Residence Life, and Social Justice Institute.
