30/04 11am-4pm: Radical Imagination, Radical Transformation Workshop: Climate Change Power, Democracy and the Politics of the Imagination

Jess Brett — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 11:30:56 GMT

When: 11am - 4pm, Thu, 30 Apr '26

This workshop aims to combine theoretical and empirical scholarship on capitalist society and its current and potential transformations, on the one hand, with theoretical and empirical scholarship on the roles of power, democracy, and empowerment in relation to the collective socio-political imagination. To what extent do ideas and imaginaries either obstruct or unleash processes of social change? (How) can the socio-po-litical imagination be democratised, empowered, and freed from ideological distortion? What does this suggest about prospects of radical transformations towards sustainability ?

This workshop is organised as part of the Sustainability Spotlight, under the thematic priority - Radical Imaginaries, led by Marit Hammond (PAIS), Graeme Macdonald (ECLS) and Elena Korosteleva (IGSD). Everyone is welcome!
