Resistance and alternatives to a corporate-centric view of society: which roles can academics play to support marginalized actors?

The Community Section reflects on how CSPs can empower marginalised stakeholders, paying particular attention to the roles of different actors in and around partnerships. Two interviews with a South African business leader (Judi Sandrock) and a leading business academic (Bobby Banerjee) highlight the potential and importance of cross-sector engagement, but also point out a number of inherent limitations. The Community Section also reports on the 5th biannual symposium on Cross-Sector Social Interactions held in Toronto, 17-20 April 2016.
