Leverage Points 2019: International conference on sustainability research
and transformation, Lüneburg, Germany, 6-8 February Call for abstracts
Dear colleagues,
Humanity sits at a crossroad between tragedy and transformation, and now is
a crucial time for sustainability research. Radical approaches are needed in
sustainability research and praxis if they are to meet the challenges of the
21st century.
Inspired by the work of Donella Meadows¹ ³Leverage Points: Places to
intervene in a system², this conference will explore the deep leverage
points that can lead to sustainability transformations, asking: how do we
transform ourselves, our science, our institutions, our interventions and
our societies for a better future?
The conference is premised on three principles:
1. The importance of searching for places where interventions can lead to
transformative change;
2. Open inquiry, exchange and co-learning across multiple theoretical,
methodological and empirical research approaches; and
3. The need for reflection on modes of research and processes in
sustainability research.
We hope that this conference will help us move from incremental to
transformational change; extend our thinking about complex sustainability
challenges and deepen our collective and transdisciplinary research
practices.
The call for abstracts is open until 30 June 2018.
