Hauptseminar SS 2023 'Geographies of Alternative and Diverse Economies'
Outline - This seminar explores how Economic Geographers are using the concepts 'alternative economies' and 'diverse economies'. What geographies of economic spaces emerge through this thinking? What new knowledge is produced? What problems and challeges arise? Generally, these concepts are understood as efforts to reframe the economy. They encourage economic geographers, economists and society to develop an appreciation for economic activities that are outside the economic growth-oriented, corporate or private enterprise institutional mainstream, in which wage labour produces fpr a market under a capitalist firm. Under the 'diverse economies' banner, economic geographers Gibson-Graham (2008) called for a wide-ranging enquiry into the spaces, opportunities, relations and problems of the many forms of economic relations that exist beyond this narrow model. At the same time, the 'alternative economies' literature endorses alternative economic logics, institutions and ethics including the sharing, circular or degrowth economies, as opportunities to deal with the alarming environmental impacts of economic activities. In this course , we will explore whether these are divergent literatures, whether new economic insitutions, practices, ethics and spaces are emerging, whether these are developing new dynamics die to transition-making policies, and how transformative these concepts are and can be.
Calendar - Early in the semester we will meet to discuss selected readings, so as to develop our understanding of the core concepts. Later in the semester we mee for presentations in a block seminar format. Hausarbeit will be due towards the end of the course.
Languages of Instruction - Presentations can be given, and essays can be written in either German or English.

RESEARCH PROFILE
ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY AND SUSTAINABILITY
I conduct economic geography research on resources and sustainability with special attention to natural resources management, disaster recovery, the development of sustainable business enterprises and networks, and the effectiveness of policies designed to promote innovation, transformation, or resilience in the face of shocks. This involves researching interactions among resources, governance, innovation, markets and environments with sustainability as a driving conccern. As solutions to chronic environmental problems are sought by some in the formation of new markets it is timely to research aspects of resources and their effects on environments, market formation, the implications of trade for environments, and the implications of the cultures of markets for environments. In addition, I continue to research historical geographies of globalization, This research focus is advanced through three thematic agendas:
1. MAKING TRANSITIONS
