SUMMARY:XIX Biennial IASC Conference: The Commons We Want
DESCRIPTION:The conference of International Association for the Study of th
 e Commons will explore historical legacies and future collective actions.\n
 \nThe IASC has been shaping the debate on alternative development pathways 
 by way of putting the commons center stage. In times of profound crises, we
  have seen states being caught up in emergency mode. This unfolds, among ot
 hers, in a tendency to respond within national borders, and it has brought 
 the importance of building genuine resilience that leaves no one behind.\n\
 nIn all its diversity, the African continent is particularly exposed to sho
 cks, and the risk of losing decades of development accomplishments is consp
 icuous. Therefore, in the context of the pandemic, building resilience for 
 a broad range of society has become ever more pertinent, but the framework 
 conditions to do so remain under-discussed. The global IASC conference will
  open up a space to mobilize this very debate. Taking place at the Universi
 ty of Nairobi, but co-organized with Centre for Integrated Training and Res
 earch in ASAL Development CETRAD, the University of Bern (Institute of Soci
 al Anthropology ISA, Centre for Development and Environment CDE), and the S
 wiss Tropical and Public Health Institute Swiss TPH, Basel, Switzerland) an
 d the Swiss Society for African Studies (SSAS), the discourse on commons an
 d commoning will be prominently staged so as to broadly explore the contrib
 utions of the concept of the commons to build resilience in and beyond cris
 es.\n\nThe conference provides a much-needed link to future-oriented resear
 ch and practice perspective with a look back, since many legal and structur
 al legacies predetermine possible development pathways. This reflection sha
 ll help to position the commons debate in the context of the Agenda 2030 an
 d contribute to making the transformation towards the SDGs a more commons-o
 riented and participatory endeavor.\n\nFurther Information: https://2023.ia
