An academic association dedicated to research, training, awareness raising and events organization around degrowth
Welcome to our blog! – In this section, you will soon find posts that have emerged out of R&D activities – such as the Degrowth Summer School, the Master in Political Ecology, Activism in Barcelona – and articles that reflect on degrowth more in general.
We call for all those that wish to be a part of the discussion to contribute and share their views, and ideas.
We are flexible on the length of contributions but would prefer they be between 600-1000 words
If you want to contribute to this blog, please contact us at degrowthblog@gmail.com
