Are you interested in socioecological transformations, sustainability transitions, justice, and related themes? You can now learn more about them in the Routledge volume Socioecological Transformations: Linking Ontologies with Structures, Personal with Collective Change. The open-access book is published as part of the JUST GLOBE: Justice and Politics in Global Bioeconomy project.
The book is edited by Luke’s Sabaheta Ramcilovik-Suominen. It brings together international scholars, practitioners, and activists working across political ecology, decolonial and feminist scholarship, Indigenous and relational ontologies, ethics of care, degrowth, and justice-centered sustainability research. The volume explores how socioecological transformations require attention not only to policies and institutions, but also to worldviews, values, relationships, and collective practices.
The Just Globe project has organised two online book launch events marking the publication.
The first launch focused on ontological and relational dimensions of transformation, including nondual and relational worldviews, Indigenous and ancestral knowledge, feminist ethics of care, and education as a site of resistance and healing. Contributors reflected on how inner and collective transformations are intertwined and why care, learning, and relationality matter for sustaining change.
The second launch turned to structural and political dimensions of transformation, examining community-led and grassroot initiatives and movements, ecological livelihoods, degrowth tourism, sectoral transformations in forestry, EU green policies, and the role of solidarity and alliances in advancing justice-oriented change.
Researchers, students, and practitioners interested in socioecological transformations, sustainability transitions, political ecology, and justice-oriented research are warmly invited to explore the recordings, programme details, and the open-access book:
