The Center for the Study of Women in Society will hold two events on Wednesday, November 9, 2016, as part of the 2016-17 Lorwin Lectureship Series. “Transformative Philanthropy” is a forum focused on the unique and particular ways in which social justice philanthropy—both fundraising and grantmaking—can bring, and has brought about, social change for women, LGBTQ people, and people of color.

A panel discussion from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. will be moderated by Rebecca Flynn, co-director of the Wayne Morse Center for Law & Policy, and will feature Emily Evans, executive director of Women’s Foundation of Oregon; Gabriel Foster, co-founder and executive director of Trans Justice Funding Project; and Carol Tatch, major giving director of MRG Foundation. Food provided for this lunchtime event.

At 6 p.m., , CEO, Pride Foundation, will deliver the keynote lecture. Both events will take place at the Knight Library Browsing Room, 1501 Kincaid St., on the UO campus and are free and open to the public.

This event is hosted by the Center for the Study of Women in Society at the University of Oregon and cosponsored by the UO Office of the Provost and Academic Affairs; CSWS Women of Color Project; Department of Planning, Public Policy, and Management; Department of Women’s and Gender Studies; ASUO Women’s Center; and the Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics. It is part of the 2016-17 Lorwin Lectureship on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties series, and one of several events planned for the CSWS year-long theme devoted to Women and Work. The Lorwin Lectureship is a bequest of the UO College of Arts and Sciences and UO School of Law.
