The Politics of Well-being Series: Civil Society and Well-Being

September 18, 2025 · 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM EDT

The Ronald O. Perelman Center for Political Science and Economics – Forum · 133 S 36th St, Philadelphia, PA 19104

What role do civil society organizations play in shaping well-being? Join us as we explore how nonprofit institutions, faith-based organizations, and philanthropic foundations contribute to — and sometimes complicate — efforts to improve public welfare. Drawing from real-world examples, our panel will consider how resource distribution, civic engagement, and policy implementation intersect in pursuit of collective well-being.

With Ram Cnaan, Femida Handy, and Katherina Rosqueta. Moderated by Carleigh Douglas
