The RECOMS Training Event 6 will be held online on 1st -9th February 2021 and will focus on the communal character of public spaces in a city, different forms of democratic governance, how cooperativism can shape new understandings of ownership, and how the transformative power of imagination can change the way we coordinate our interdependent lives. In particular, we will take an in-depth look at housing struggles, solidarity economies, social movements and political organisations in Barcelona. In preparing the school, we aimed at inviting people whose backgrounds were not exclusively academic. This is not to diminish the relevance of theoretical investigation, but rather to acknowledge the efforts of those who try to keep their feet in both worlds: the world of thought and the world of action. In this way, the doctoral school focuses on the dynamics that allow knowledge production to reverberate beyond the strict borders of contemporary academia.
