In this short video, Lebohang Liepollo Pheko, member of The Club of Rome, reflects on what she calls academic activism: the practice of bridging knowledge and action to create tangible and community-rooted change.

Speaking from her experience as an activist scholar, Pheko shares why meaningful transformation must be relational, multi-sided, and transdisciplinary, meaning it connecting people, movements and ideas across boundaries.

This video accompanies her full conversation with The Club of Rome in “Economies of Care” where she explores feminist and decolonial visions for the economy, the meaning of reparations, and the kind of leadership needed in an age of intersecting crises.
