Professor of Philanthropic Studies, Philanthropy and Justice
The Lilly Family School of Philanthropy seeks an exceptional colleague to join the faculty of the first school of its kind. The School is particularly interested in research and teaching on diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) in philanthropy. The School’s community engages a plurality of definitions of philanthropy that encompass but also go beyond the traditional “voluntary action for public good,” - embracing the experiences and actions of all, not only those with money and time to give, or foundations and wealthy donors. Research on philanthropy and justice may include a focus on, for example, but is not limited to: non-profits, charitable contributions, volunteerism, fundraising, philanthropic foundations, informal pro-social behavior, along with traits and motivations related to those behaviors.
