The Politics of Degrowth Date and time: 14 June 2023, 13.00-17.00 BST Format: Hybrid workshop, in person in Seminar Room 1, the Wave, University of Sheffield and online via booking page Reservation required by Eventbrite: here <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-politics-of-degrowth-tickets-631617393627> Is ‘degrowth’ the answer to planetary environmental crisis? This half-day workshop will consider this question, focusing on the politics of degrowth and other alternatives to prevailing neoliberal growth orthodoxies. Bringing together leading international scholars and scholar-activists of degrowth, post-growth and green new deal thinking, the workshop will explore both questions of principle (e.g. does degrowth, or perhaps post-growth, make sense as an ideal?) and questions of political practice (e.g. through what political strategies might degrowth, or post-growth, be pursued?). The event should be of interest to anyone interested in learning and thinking more about degrowth and associated ideas. It is intended for specialists and non-experts alike; students are more than welcome. It will be organised around two roundtable sessions, with short presentations that leave plenty of time for Q&A and discussion. Lunch and refreshments will be available for those attending in person.
