On the EU- Narrative on Platform Economy Laura Porak Exploring Economics Global Social Theory is a large wiki-like project by Gurminder K Bhambra. Its central aim is decolonising and diversifying universities, production of knowledge, and social thought in general. It represents a large online library divided into three parts: concepts, thinkers, and topics in/of social theory and decolonial thought. Every part comprises of short, introductory articles on an according theme. It may be helpful to give you a general overview (and a list of basic readings) on the most essential areas of social theory: caste, class, and race; civil society; racism; secularism; feminism and many others. It may also allow students whose university curriculum in sociology, economics, or other social sciences lacks diversity to compensate for that. Level: leicht Global Social Theory Multiple academic authors: professors, researchers, and lecturers. globalsocialtheory.org Chercheuse au CNRS, Lauriane Mouysset s'attaque au défi de concilier économie et écologie pour concevoir un développement durable. Pas si simple de faire un choix, lorsqu’il s’agit de penser en amont, à tous les avantages mais aussi aux conséquences qui vont en découler. Peut-être que la clé de tout choix se trouve sur les valeurs fondamentales, celles qui font nos sociétés. Lauriane nous invite à réfléchir à la meilleure façon d’agir et de faire un bon choix face à la crise écologique. 2018 Level: leicht Repenser le défi écologique Lauriane Mouysset TEDxBordeaux The podcast exposes the concept and principles of co-operatives and the three main types of co-operatives: the consumer, credit and farmers buying and selling co-operatives. Furthermore, the history of the co-operative movement is presented. The authors draw the line from co-operatives to "degrowth" by arguing that these organisations discourage profit maximisation due to their ownership structure, their social purpose and their primacy of people over capital. The value of the members' co-operative share does not increase with the growth of a co-operative and it can not be used for speculation. Finally, the authors give examples for current co-operatives which empower (local) communities fostering social justice and environmentalism. 2016 Level: leicht Co-operatives Ann-Christin Abbenhaus; Nadia Johanisova; Ruben Suriñach Padilla; Philippa Parry Degrowth Audiobook Im Dossier zur Kita-Krise findet ihr eine Sammlung von Videos, Podcasts, Texten und Infografiken mit denen ihr Euch über die Kita-Krise, die darum geführten Kämpfe sowie ihre strukturellen Hintergründe informieren könnt. 2024 Level: leicht Die Kita-Krise - Situation, Lösungsansätze, Hintergründe Fred Heussner Exploring Economics
