A Charitable Look at Effective Altruism with Jennifer Rubenstein Woke Points

This week Ted and Marni welcome Dr. Jennifer Rubenstein, Associate Professor of Politics at The University of Virginia and author of Between Samaritans and States to the podcast. Jenn brings a much needed informed perspective on the multitude of approaches to charitable giving and how we each can all evaluate our own giving practices.

If you listened last week and wondered "but what would someone with demonstrated knowledge about this topic say?" this week's interview is for you!
