PhD researcher at the University of Helsinki, studying political aspects of degrowth and the Pluriverse. As a Futures researcher, I also study futures of death and immortality. Views my own.
This is absolutely fascinating. I am working on a very similar project of a big Mexican City, and along with a concept artist I am developing scenarios that would reimagine that city according to degrowth ideas. I share an early sketch!

This would be a great idea 😄, particularly for researchers who are anxious and like to get their words right on the first try.
In a darkly humorous twist, I would also like a session in that course titled 'Writing with pain: how to avoid it" 😂 (referencing Sword, 2020, "Writing with Pleasure").

There's only so much a movement can accomplish by movement-ing alone! Ultimately, they need to build broad-based solidarities and coalitions, a strategy that XR could invest in more . You may like the arguments we make here: www.bloomsbury.com/us/decolonizing-environmentalism-9781350335493/

When we talk "renewables" we need to consider recycling and degrowth principles, it's as simply as that. We can't afford the same number of e-cars, as they need a broader range of metal-based materials, whose extraction is already related to deforestation.

Metal mining is a global driver of environmental change - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment
Global metal ore extraction has increased almost fourfold since 1970. This Review explores the drivers, patterns and environmental consequences of the growth of metal ore extraction and discusses interventions to reduce negative impacts across metal supply chains.
