The University of Brighton has a fully-funded PhD studentship for the following project:
Spaces of co‐operation: rethinking practices of ecological citizenship as commoning
This project engages with recent interest in historical, geographical and political approaches to the “commons”, and with the idea of “commoning” (being and living in common) as a form of ecological citizenship. The project investigates practices, imaginaries, and material forms of commoning, as well as their relationship with those neoliberal forms of subjectivity against which they are situated. By critically engaging with these emerging practices of ecological citizenship and resistance, the project will elucidate the opportunities and problems inherent in such attempts to form collective and sustainable ways of life, contributing to contemporary scholarship on activism, social movements and sustainability.
