Degrowth Assembly + USSEE Conference 2026

Degrowth Institute is hosting a series of events this summer in Oberlin, OH!

On June 18th, we will be hosting a Degrowth Assembly at Oberlin College.

The Assembly will run from 9:00AM-5:00PM, and is open to the general public. Attendees of the US Society for Ecological Economics (USSEE) 2026 Conference may attend the Degrowth Assembly for free.

The Assembly will focus on movement-building and hands-on workshops geared towards growing the degrowth social movement in the US.

From June 19th-21st, we will be hosting a series of degrowth sessions and a degrowth mixer at the USSEE Conference, also held at Oberlin College.

These events are only open to USSEE Conference attendees. The degrowth sessions will be a combination of informational presentations and hands-on workshops, led by a variety of leaders in the US degrowth movement.

The degrowth mixer, held in the evening of June 19th, will be a chance to network, socialize and enjoy music and dance.
