The 2024 Community Economies Institute Summer/Winter School, Researching Postcapitalist Possibilities, will be held from 18 to 27 June 2024. The School is being offered in two face-to-face nodes (in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Norway) and in three online nodes (in the Americas, Asia-Pacific region, and Europe). The content is the same for all nodes, and there are opportunities for participants from the nodes to connect with each other. Each node is facilitated by two members of the Community Economies Institute.

To account for the different academic calendars in different parts of the world, there will be a second round closing on 15 March 2024 – with places available subject to the uptake in Round 1.

OVERVIEW

The Summer/Winter School is for PhD students, early career researchers and others interested in Community Economies research and practice.

This School is run as a small group intensive, with numbers at each node capped at twelve participants. The focus is on Community Economies research and practice.

1. The first part focuses on foundational texts (such as The End of Capitalism (as we knew it)), core concepts (such as antiessentialism, poststructuralism and performativity) and thinking techniques (such as reading for difference).
2. The second part focuses on contemporary applications of this foundational material.

The 10-day program includes in-depth reading of foundational texts, short lectures, activities to deepen your understanding and apply what you learn to your own research or project, and individual research meetings and panels with members of the CEI.
