While a great deal of degrowth discussion happens in academic circles, degrowth is first and foremost a social movement. What does degrowth look like in action? How do we organize, advocate and agitate for a downscaling of the global economy?

For our final full day of DeSchool programming, we’ll be at the beautiful South Shore Cultural Center (SSCC) again.

Monday’s Schedule:
