They offer a diverse, comprehensive range of perspectives – from those working in academia and philanthropy to practitioners with relevant experience – demonstrating how collaborating across sectors can fuel meaningful social change. The writers urge you to recognize that complex problems require interconnected solutions and compromise, and they challenge you to disrupt the status quo.
