🧵We welcome empirical and theoretical work from all disciplines that engage with the critical analysis of capitalism and its alternatives. We encourage studies based on the Global North and the Global Majority, esp. those that learn from the latter. We are open minded about formats, too!

🧵Co-organiser Dr Jan Groos @uni-kiel.de @futurehistories.bsky.social is interested in collective coordination at a scale. Eg. radical municipalism, real utopias, commons-public partnerships, proposals for democratic planning, alternative governmentality, and scalable organizational futures.

🧵Co-organiser Dr Birgan Gokmenoglu @birgangokmenoglu.bsky.social @bcusociology.bsky.social @bsatheory.bsky.social welcomes abstracts on alternatives combining anti-capitalism with anti-authoritarianism, climate activism, and alternative forms of democracy and political organising.

🧵Co-founder & -organiser Dr Lara Monticelli @sociodigfutures.bsky.social @brisunipress.bsky.social is interested in intentional communities, mutual aid groups, alternative food networks, grassroots/prefigurative social movements, and utopian and dystopian future(s).

🧵Co-founder & -organiser Dr Torsten Geelan @brisunipress.bsky.social welcomes work on anti-capitalist just transitions, degrowth unionism, democratizing work, the four-day work week, counter-hegemonic media practices, and other forms of worker- or union-led decarbonization and decommodification.
