The prestigious Francqui Chair at Ghent University was granted to sociologist Pamala Wiepking.
In this inaugural lecture, Professor Wiepking will explore how philanthropy can contribute to building more inclusive societies while addressing the challenges of accountability and civic space. This event marks the opening of a series of lectures that will further examine the role of philanthropy in shaping social change from both a theoretical and a global perspective.
