The Joint Conference of ISEE, ESEE, and DEGROWTH in collaboration with Manchester University, UK
Building Alternative Livelihoods in times of ecological and political crisis
Given the continuing pandemic, the joint conference between the International Degrowth Research Network, the International Society for Ecological Economics, and the European Society for Ecological Economics will now be a virtual conference. It will be hosted 5-8 July in Manchester, UK. This conference will build on the experience of the joint colloquium of September 2020 to bring together academics from the Degrowth and Ecological Economics communities, voices from the Global North and Global South, civil society actors, activists, artists, and policy-makers. It aims to stimulate dialogue between and within different perspectives, disciplines, and social movements.

Report from Stuart Scott
Vatican Internship
I would like to start this new year’s blank slate off on a very ‘up’ note. As you may or may not be aware, an outgrowth of Clóvis Cavalcani’s and my interaction with the Holy See (‘the Vatican’ in common parlance), Cardinal Turkson requested that the ISEE perhaps find an intern to work with him in the Dicastery for Integral Human Development, of which he is head (prefect). However, Cardinal Turkson was asking if the ISEE could find support for his living expenses as he did not have the budget for such.
Having put together a posting which outlined the opportunity well, the very first person to reply – Nick Fitzpatrick – was a perfect fit. And since he could continue his PhD studies while he was doing the internship, he only needed the apartment covered.
My colleague, Rob Harding, was able to locate a benefactor who is covering that expense.
After the internship started to materialize quickly, I realized that not only would Nick be a resource on site for the Holy See, but he could provide a channel to the messaging of Pope Francis for what I envisioned as ‘a circle of elders’ of the ISEE. A very impressive group has been formed to communicate with Nick to give regular input of thoughts and ideas – including Malte Faber, Arild Vatn, Peter Victor, Bob Costanza, Herman Daly, Bill Rees, Richard Norgaard, Kate Pickett, and many others participating in various ways.
