'Deep Dive' Online Courses

The Deep Dive Online Courses offered by Research & Degrowth (R&Di) are an educational initiative designed to explore focused themes through the lens of degrowth — such as policies and degrowth, the sea and degrowth, agriculture and degrowth, and more. These intensive courses are created for those who seek more than an introduction: researchers, activists, professionals, and curious minds ready to engage critically with the challenges and possibilities of social-ecological transformation.

Each Deep Dive consists of five live online sessions (2.5 hours each, totaling 12.5 hours) with no more than 30 students.

Lived Perspectives

The Lived Perspectives chapter of the Deep Dive courses offered by Research & Degrowth (R&Di) explores focused themes through the lens of Degrowth by including perspectives that go beyond the scope of academic knowledge. This chapter is designed for those who wish to learn within a community of peers, sharing lived experience, militant practices or artistic research with fellow researchers, activists, artists, professionals, and curious minds eager to engage critically with the challenges and possibilities of social-ecological transformation.
