SUMMARY:Annual International Conference 2016 - Panel: Rethinking the Commons (and perhaps also gentrification)
DESCRIPTION:The panel seeks to address the categories of gentrification and commoning as two different\, but not necessarily opposite attitudes toward the reconfiguration of neoliberal power in Europe and beyond. In doing so\, we seek to discuss how post-capitalist imagination is seen to emerge from practices of self-organisation\, DIY resistance or community based groups and collectives. We are interested in approaches engaging anti-austerity movements as agents of new political imagination\, but which remain aware of the risks of co-option and de-politicisation promoted by neoliberal institutions and organisations on the ground\, often associated with the phenomena of gentrification and neoliberal economies. The panel aims to discuss papers bringing together a geographical focus based on\, but not limited to\, the socio-historical configuration of power within the context of European urban peripheries as well as the peripheries of Europe. With this we include both the margins of European cities as well as the margins of Europe itself\, aiming to promote forms of comparative connections between North and South\, East and West. We are particularly interested in how\, in different European contexts\, institutional politics and social movements redefined the struggle against neoliberal austerity politics. \nWe accept papers on (but not limited to):\n– Responses to the austerity crisis in the peripheries of both Southern and Northern Europe\n– Analysis of processes of gentrification in European cities\n– Studies of processes of marginalisation in the European peripheries\n– Limits and challenges of activists scholarship with urban social movements\n– Ethnographies of neoliberal planning and architecture\n– Case studies addressing spatialized practices of post-capitalism\n– Practices of urban commoning with a focus on sharing\, collaborative and solidarity networks in the European city. \n  \nFurther details about the general conference at: \nhttp://www.rgs.org/WhatsOn/ConferencesAndSeminars/Annual+International+Conference/Annual+International+Conference+2016.htm

SUMMARY:5th International Conference on Degrowth for Ecological Sustainability and Social Equity
DESCRIPTION:Budapest will host the 5th International Degrowth Conference at Corvinus University (30 August – 3 September 2016). The conference will link the most visible degrowth thinkers of today with academic and participatory audiences in Hungary and the wider region. At the same time Budapest will be the host of the first Degrowth Week\, which will feature numerous degrowth activists\, practitioners and policy-makers. \nDegrowth is a movement which reminds us that infinite growth on a finite planet is neither sustainable nor desirable. Degrowth deconstructs the myth that growth is the central solution for the impasse our societies have led us to. The movement tries to understand the convergence of the crises we are experiencing and argues that they are interconnected. The Degrowth movement tries to construct serene and democratic pathways toward more social and environmental justice\, well-being\, meaningful livelihoods\, emancipation\, conviviality and autonomy. \nBudapest will host the 5th International Degrowth Conference from the 30th of August to the 3rd of September 2016. After Paris in 2008\, Barcelona in 2010\, Venice in 2012 and Leipzig in 2014\, the conference\, which focuses on ecological sustainability and social equity\, will be held in the Corvinus University of Budapest. \nFirst and foremost\, the conference is a meeting place of prominent academic researchers from across the globe. Every two years the gathering offers them a ground for discussing the latest developments in this new interdisciplinary field of research. They focus on issues related to the breaching of environmental limits and the failure of economic infrastructures to provide a dignified existence in society. The scientific community also interacts with practitioners during the conference in order to articulate viable alternatives to the current socio-economic models. \nWithin this conference\, a space will also be designated for the wider public. Budapest will be the cradle of a new initiative\, called the Degrowth Week\, which will create a new platform for practical activities and workshops\, partnership with local initiatives\, participatory discussions and debates among a wide circle of stakeholders and cultural\, artistic and creative programmes throughout the city. During the spring of 2016\, the wider public will be invited to help the organisers curate the events of the Degrowth week. \nDegrowth is not an entirely new issue in Hungary. The conference will highlight the work of the renowned Hungarian thinker Karl Polanyi and his seminal work “The Great Transformation”. Decades after the publication of this foundational piece\, degrowth re-entered Hungary in 2011 with the Hungarian translation of Serge Latouche’s book “Farewell to Growth.” Since then degrowth has been fiercely debated in Hungary with the publication of several books\, articles\, along with the organisation of public discussions and participatory workshops. It is also influencing the development of practical local initiatives like Cyclonomia or Cargonomia. \nJoin us in Budapest. \nThe Budapest Degrowth Conference organisation team\nhttp://budapest.degrowth.org/\ncontact@budapest-degrowth.org

SUMMARY:United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III)
DESCRIPTION:Parallel worskhop on community development\, land tenure and social innovation under conditions of rapid urban transformation \nQuestions of land tenure have been of major interest to urban development policy makers and practitioners in cities of the South. Many communities\, and particularly the urban poor communities fell victim to eviction\, displacement\, lack of tenure rights and exclusion from urban services (drainage\, water supply\, waste collection\, maintenance\, etc.). In the last 50 years\, approaches to these problems have evolved from outright negative attitudes or neglect by public agencies and urban professionals to a more empathic and constructive approach looking for potentially more positive solutions. \nThis Conference Workshop seeks to bring together about 50 action-researchers and policy analysts from all continents working in the area of land tenure and urban development\, together with key experts and practitioners and other interested stakeholders to share state-of-the-art knowledge and to set the agenda for future research\, policy and practice in this area. The workshop set-up explicitly allows for flexible approaches to actively stimulate exchange between the academic world and policy makers and practitioners.

SUMMARY:International Conference Lesvos\, Greece. Making Space for Socio-Spatial and Socio-Ecological Justice in Research and Action strategies
DESCRIPTION:
URL:https://theindigoproject.be/calendar/international-indigo-conference-lesvos/
LOCATION:The aim of the Lesvos Conference is to provide a forum for sharing experiences\, practices\, critical reflections\, methodological as well as empirical advancements on research for and about social ecological and socio-spatial justice. What tasks do social innovation and territorial development research have today and in the future? What role can the territorial commons play for greater socio spatial justice? What methodological and structural constraints and challenges exist for action research in social and social-ecological change strategies? These and other pressing questions will be the focus of what we hope becomes a stimulating gathering of academics\, activists\, policy makers\, artists.

SUMMARY:IASC’s XVIth Biennial Conference in Utrecht\, 10-14 July 2017. Practicing the Commons.
DESCRIPTION:The ‘Institutions for Collective Action’ research team of Utrecht University as well as the researchers affiliated with Utrecht University’s  Strategic Theme ‘Institutions for Open Societies’ are proud to jointly host the global XVI Biennial Conference\, ‘Practicing the commons: Self-governance\, cooperation\, and institutional change’ of The International Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC) in the historical city centre of Utrecht\, 10-14 July 2017. \nThe conference is expected to attract over 600 participants from all over the world: academics\, practitioners\, and others interested in the field of commons\, common-pool resources\, and cooperatives. \nThe IASC is the world’s leading professional organization for the interdisciplinary study of commons\, common-pool resources\, and other resources that are (or could be) held or used collectively by communities\, both in developing and developed countries. The association  is devoted to understanding and improving institutions for the management and governance of such resources. The IASC is open to both academic scholars as well as expert practitioners\, and hence has become the (non-profit) association par excellence for the mutual exchange between scholars and practitioners on commons’ issues. \nThe 2017 Biennial IASC-Conference will be an excellent opportunity for scholars and practitioners from all over the world to meet each other\, to learn from each other’s research and experiences\, to exchange ideas\, and to learn from successful examples of management and governance of common-pool resources. The conference will focus on examples from all over the world\, but will also pay much attention on the significant current-day developments on common-pool resources and cooperatives within the Netherlands (such as knowledge commons\, energy cooperatives\, care cooperatives\, urban commons\, and other citizens’ initiatives)\, not only by inviting representatives of those Dutch initiatives to join as conference participants\, but also by offering them an opportunity to draw attention to their initiatives\, e.g. by organizing public events and field-trips. \nBoth the hosting team and the IASC are confident the impact of this conference will not only be beneficial to the conference partners involved\, but also to citizens’ initiatives and other forms of commons and self-governance within the Netherlands.

SUMMARY:INDIGO Public lecture: MAKE IT COMMON.  Differing and composing common spaces and common-places
DESCRIPTION:INDIGO Public lecture by Laurent Thévénot (EHESS)\nMAKE IT COMMON.  Differing and composing common spaces and common-places  \n \nThe model of orders of worth [grandeurs] analyses conventions of equivalence and evaluation which aim at public legitimacy\, insofar as they are based on a characterization of the common good for humanity and are put to a reality test through action. This model does not address the good of a community\, except through the utopian conception of a single-worth cité which extends to the whole common humanity. Therefore\, it does account for the making and maintenance of a pluralistic political community\, conflicting and circumscribed in space and time. The presentation will be devoted to this last question. On the basis of comments and criticisms addressed to the limits of the model of orders of worth\, further analytical developments will be presented\, drawing on the work of a network of collective international research (in West and East Europe\, North and South America) on practical experiences of building commonality and difference in a shared space. \nPlease subscribe via this link \n
