The Future of Impact Work Podcast

By: The Now Work
  • Summary

  • At The Now Work, we believe that to build the next world, we need to re-imagine how impact work happens. Without new ways of organising work that embrace flexibility, drive collective imagination and foster personal resilience, we don’t believe we’ll achieve the leaps in innovation and imagination that we so urgently need. In this series, we’ll be exploring how individuals, sustainability leaders and organisations are challenging the status quo and building a new future of work that can deliver the innovation, joy and creativity needed to build a radically better world.

  • Ep 2 - Working Towards Structural Justice & Collective Liberation, with Panthea Lee
    Jul 24 2024

    Episode 2 of The Future of Impact Work podcast features Panthea Lee, a writer, activist, and transdisciplinary designer / facilitator working for structural justice and collective liberation.

    In this conversation Panthea shares about her experience working to centre local communities in international development work with large-scale, technocratic institutions. We explore the importance of confronting historical truths, centring reparative justice, and your own individual embodiment.

    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.

    The Future of Impact Work Podcast is brought to you by Hannah Phang, Laura Hunter and Sarah Penrhyn-Jones.
