Vanessa discusses her book Hospicing Modernity as part of JRF’s series ‘Next Frontiers in Funding, Philanthropy and Investment: Unlocking resources in this time of crisis and possibility’. Vanessa explores the four “socially sanctioned forms of denial“, the “House that Modernity Built,” and the need to go “Beyond Reform” because “more modernity is not an option, given the violence required to keep modernity in place, in the limits of the planet”, inviting us to take “7 steps back” and “7 steps forward/aside”.
