ARNOVA 2020 Annual Conference

The Association for Research on Nonprot Or-

ganizations and Voluntary Action will hold its 2019

Annual Conference Nov. 12–14 in Indianapolis.

According to organizers, this conference aims to

create a public conversation on, as well as opportuni-

ties for presenting research about, pressing issues and

vital opportunities facing the voluntary or nonprot

sector. It is both a showcase for the best and most

current research, as well as a seedbed from which

new research is born. This three-day event includes

two plenary sessions, over 180 panel and/or paper

presentation sessions, a poster session and numerous

opportunities for networking/idea sharing.

The theme for this year’s conference is “From

Climate Change to Social Justice: How Citizens are

Re-Shaping Nonprots and Philanthropy in an Age

of Disruption and Transition.”

The conference sessions and keynotes will address

a variety of related questions, such as:

• To what extent have nonprot, philanthropic,

and civil society organizations responded to citizens’

demands for action to address the climate crisis?

• How are we preparing and responding to a world

that has quite possibly reached its climate threshold?

• In what ways have community-oriented and

participatory approaches to the work that we do

reshaped the values of our organizations?

• What role have the arts and creative endeavors

played in framing the narratives associated with

philanthropic action around climate change and

social justice?

• How can the voluntary efforts of individuals

(both individually and collectively) lead to tangible

and lasting change in the myriad of systemic and

institutional systems that have resulted in disruption

and transition in all of our lives?

Fees for the conference have not been nalized as

of press time.
