Financing Impact

The Insights for Action seminar series explores how researchers and practitioners within and beyond Oxford are using research insights to drive social change. In this seminar we will discuss impact finance. Drawing on insights from the work of Acumen and UNDP, and lessons from the broader field, what forms of financing are needed to support systemic social change?

Speakers:

Juliane Reinecke is Professor of Management Studies at the Said Business School. Her research draws on insights from organisation theory, political philosophy and process studies to explore, broadly speaking, how transnational governance institutions emerge and evolve as a result of the interactions of multiple stakeholders to promote more just and sustainable forms of globalisation in global supply chains, but also organisations in general.
