Description
The agrarian question, in its plural articulations and reinterpretations, has been central to both critical agrarian studies and political ecology; yet, its contemporary understandings, analytics, and geographies tend to treat it as an almost Global South-exclusive problematique. As Global North scholars, activists and farmers, working on land, peasantries, agrarian economies and rural futures, we aim to contribute to the conversation that seeks to ‘reopen’ the agrarian question in the North, with a focus on European countrysides, but in radical alliance with majority world Indigenous, peasant and land struggles.

The intent is twofold: on the one hand, bringing back into the conversation European ruralities and agrarian economies, their crises, their politics and their potential for socio-ecological transformation; on the other, rethinking agricultural (re)production, dependencies, (agro)ecologies, and labour in the North in radical alliance with delinking, liberation, self-

We are interested in proposals that explore the agrarian question in Europe, starting from (yet not limited to) themes such as:

- Northern agrarian metabolisms and their colonial patterns: migrant labour, core-periphery relations (also with internal peripheries); dependencies in the agri-food system; global value, labour and care chains;

- Reclaiming rural Europe from the Right: reactionary politics versus ecosocialist potentials;

- Why are people “still” farming? Desire, affect, and the “peasant principle”;

- (Migrant) worker solidarity in the agri-food system;

- Property and its transformations;

- The “agrarian question of climate change” (as termed by Paprocki & McCarthy); green transitions and their impacts on agrarian communities;

- Political agroecology, socio-ecological reproduction and food sovereignty for the North, beyond localisms.

On holiday, but necessary to intervene. Don't make me tap the sign "no such thing as natural disasters (or climate disasters)". There are, however, climate-exacerbated disasters, but the underlying vulnerability of societies is the root cause. Always will be.

Universities are in trouble. But is Nous Group the answer? The business model of the consultant is sharp and sophisticated. They bought the sector 'benchmarking' data and use it to sell services. Griffith Uni even hired 4 exec staff from them. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/educati...

Nous Group has slowly taken over the university sector, filling VCs’ offices with ex-staff and buying ‘incredibly sensitive’ data that is sold back for benchmarking.
