Workshop ‘Un/commoning sustainability and its temporalities’ at DGSKA 2025
RESOURCE team members Daniel Sosna and Maike Melles chaired a workshop on sustainability and un/commoning at the DGSKA conference in Cologne.
The RESOURCE team members Daniel Sosna and Maike Melles organised a workshop on ‘Un/commoning sustainability and its temporalities’ at this year’s DGSKA Conference at the University of Cologne. The four speakers who presented their thoughts on alternative temporalities of sustainability were Eriko Yamasaki (University of Marburg), Sandra Calkins (University of Bayreuth), Philipp Budka (University of Vienna), and André Thiemann (Charles University, Prague).
The presentations covered an exciting range of case studies and regions, spanning
- more-than-human and intergenerational dimensions of Maya maize farming in Mexico (Yamasaki),
- the reconfiguration of space and displacement implemented caused by green infrastructure projects in urban East Africa (Calkins),
- the challenge of maintaining long-term community life in the face of uncertainty about the future of transport infrastructure in the Canadian Arctic (Budka),
- and the more-than-human relations and temporalities that emerge from different approaches to managing the outbreak of African Swine Fever in Eastern Europe (Thiemann).
