Crisis, development and ecologies of the new commons

7 December 2022
Institute of Development Studies/online

Online and in-person panel discussion that explores how the ‘new commons’ deal with ideas about crisis, global challenges, development and internationalism. How does this compare to dominant approaches in research and policy? What transformative visions motivate commons practice in the long term, and how do commoners seek to change or intervene in wider society?

This event was part of the Sussex Development Lectures series hosted by the Institute of Development Studies (IDS).
