Panthea Lee (she/they) is a writer, cultural worker, and transdisciplinary designer/facilitator committed to life and liberation. She has built and supported coalitions of community leaders, artists, healers, activists, and institutions fighting for dignity in over 30 countries. Her practice is rooted in commitments to deimperialization, collective healing, and global solidarity, and explores ways—through narrative, practice, and infrastructure—to weave the spiritual and political in realizing structural justice. Panthea has held fellowships at Stanford University’s Center for Comparative Studies in Race & Ethnicity and Digital Civil Society Lab, and at Arizona State University’s Center for Science and the Imagination. She has served as trustee at DemocracyNext, The Laundromat Project, People Powered, and RSA (Royal Society of Arts). From 2010-23, she served as co-founder and Executive Director of the award-winning Reboot. Her work has been covered by Al Jazeera, CNN, Fast Company, and the New York Times, and her words have appeared in The Atlantic, Harper’s Bazaar, In These Times, The Nation, Stanford Social Innovation Review, and more. Panthea is based in Taipei, Taiwan, on the traditional lands of the Ketagalan people.
Panthea is a graduate of Cohort 15. We had the pleasure of speaking with Panthea this month to learn more about how she is integrating The Resilience Toolkit into the incredible work she does.
