The fourth instance of our online Degrowth seminar series is coming up, on September 19th, 2 PM-3 PM CEST

“The future of degrowth: Decolonizing more than the imaginary” by Dr. Brototi Roy (Central European University, Vienna)

In recent years, degrowth has sparked multiple discussions, analyses and actions on repoliticizing the debate for socio-ecological justice and equity. Since the beginning of the movement as an activist slogan, there have been calls for decolonizing the imaginary. In this talk, Dr. Roy will engage with the idea of how can this decolonization be more material.

The talk will take place on Zoom, registration here: https://ucph-ku.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5wqdeuoqT0rGdCZTcmIc4MqrJNuC7eJLrFe
It will be followed by 30 min of informal discussion for those interested.

#Care for humans and the #environment should be at the centre of a political vision for #degrowth. How can we put socially necessary work - including #CareWork, #reproductive work and social reproduction - at the front and center of degrowth #politics

On #Sustainability, #Economics, #Green

"But this could have been known beforehand, because the essence of economics consists of that particular calculation which, in the interest of economic self-preservation, literally doesn't give a damn about the whole. If you don't screw up the world, the #markets will punish you. In any case, it would be an absurd procedure to continue to organize society according to a principle that systematically calculates out the social and ecological consequential costs, only to want to add them back in afterwards. Why not be reasonable in the way we use society's #resources?

Unfortunately, this #rationality can only be mobilized if society puts an end to the blind business calculation robot. But it must not get down to the nitty-gritty. The socio-ecological debate of the 1970s and 1980s was obviously a luxury product of the world market winners. Now the fun is over. And precisely at a time when eco-dumping and social deregulation are accelerating the crisis, 'sustainability' is making a career for itself. It is the title for the certificate of surrender of #SocioEcological social criticism." --- #RobertKurz, 2000, 3 of 3

In #SystemsThinking associated with scientific pluralism, the treatments of world theories as (i) analytic or synthetic have generally received more attention than (ii) dispersive or integrative.

Here at last😊📢 New OA paper about #Hegemony and #Radical #Socioecological #Transformations
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11625-022-01257-1

Drawing on #LaclauAndMoufe + #JudithButler, we develop a typology of transformations, which we use to analyse the transformative potentials of socioecological and political agendas, incl. eco-#modernism, #marxism, #decoloniality, eco-#feminism, #degrowth & eco-#anarchism. (1/9)

Theories of Political Ecology: Monopoly Capital Against People and the Planet
Max Ajl provides cogent and comprehensive analyses of #Extractivism: does not take into account #imperialism and #neocolonial class structures, and fails to recognize the achievements of #radical governments in increasing domestic value shares. In contrast, argues Imperialism is more appropriate analytical lens when examining the #socioecological problem of #waste under #industrial #capitalism.

Hi there, I have been around for over a month now, and I am really happy with my network. I have a nice community of people interested in #ecology, #evolution, #biodiversity, #conservation and alike.

But, I feel that for professional reasons, it'd be good to expand my network with those interested/working in: #transformations #socioecological #social #justice #degrowth #postgrowth #intersectionality #decoloniality #PoliticalEcology

If you have such folks among your followers, please share 🙏

FISH-A is a #research project that sets out to trace a #socioecological #history of North #Atlantic #architecture in relation to #fisheries, elucidating the relationships between #marine environments and #terrestrial #landscapes and assessing the ecological impact of #fishing constructions and the #natural #resources they depend upon.

Sharing a recent review paper from my lab that touches on issues in #multilingualism #bilingualism #psycholinguistics #cognition and #sociolinguistics..

would love to learn from this multidisciplinary community about kindred #socioecological approaches to multilingualism or relevant work.. e.g., #socialnetworkanalysis etc.

🚨 New framework paper on urban mosquito-borne disease out in @NatureEcoEvo@twitter.com this week!

We build a #socioecological #urbansystems approach to understanding Aedes-borne disease risk, integrating theories from complex systems science, landscape ecology, and (human) urban geography
