This is philanthrocapitalism, a fundamental shift for policy mobility and modes of redistribution. Design/Approach/Methods: Drawing upon network ethnography, I focus on a node called Social Ventures Australia (SVA), an organization committed to revolutionizing venture philanthropy in Australian education reform. SVA, the brainchild of McKinsey & Company and multinational corporations, is a useful example to map how venture philanthropy leverages resources and, in the process, fundamentally changes the shape, functionality, and form of traditional government.  \nFindings: SVA has successfully advocated for several intermediaries, such as an evidence broker (Evidence for Learning), a national charity (Schools Plus), and a national education research institute (Australian Education Research Organisation). Overlapping philanthropy and state, the intermediaries stand as a critical assemblage and technology of governance.  \nOriginality/Value: Venture philanthropy and the way in which these networks achieve high-level systemic reform is under-researched in Australia. It stands as a critical lever of policy reform in  \nCorresponding author:  \nEmma E. Rowe, School of Education, Deakin University, 221 Burwood Highway, Burwood VIC 3125, Australia.

In Australia, public schools are largely funded by their respective state or territory government rather than the federal government, whereas the continually growing and expanding private sector is funded by the well-resourced federal government, and high parent fees (Forsey et al., 2017; Rowe, 2019) . Public schools are increasingly underfunded,","cbCaiaMMbD4PA8yx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaMMbD4PA8yx","pdf",1088081,23,"English","# Abstract\n## Purpose\n## Design/Approach/Methods\n## Findings\n## Originality/Value\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of the article on venture philanthropy in Australia’s public education?\",\"answer\":\"The article maps the rise of venture philanthropy in public education in Australia and explores how policy networks mobilize systemic reform and governance technologies.\"},{\"question\":\"Which organization is used as the main example in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study centers on Social Ventures Australia (SVA), described as a peak venture philanthropic organization and an influential node in reforming public education.\"},{\"question\":\"What intermediaries has SVA advocated for, according to the findings?\",\"answer\":\"SVA has advocated for intermediaries including an evidence broker (Evidence for Learning), a national charity (Schools Plus), and a national education research institute (Australian Education Research Organisation).\"}]","Philanthrocapitalism and the State: Mapping the Rise of Venture Philanthropy in Public Education in Australia | PDF",1792092662,58]
