The Fourth Quadrant Research Network

4QRN is an international collaboration btw STS, economics and political scholars looking at 'responsible stagnation', i.e. an a-growth approach to innovation

Dear Labour: Please spare us yet another ridiculous set of promises to 'return to growth'. We have not had proper (wage) growth in years, what would we 'return' to? Just a different set of pockets stuffed? Maybe just promise return to sane, stable gov't, that'll be hard enough.

[Matthias Schmelzer @MGSchmelzer]

Capitalism's demand for unlimited growth is destroying the planet - and it cannot be made 'green' fast enough.

It's been a real honour to participate in this @UpstreamPodcast on the green transition with @maxajl @triofrancos @jasonhickel @Beaskan @nitaneise @SergioChaparro8

The critique of economic growth is as old as growth itself. And it’s not just about the more recent critique of GDP or about growth as a policy goal, but goes much deeper. How was growth criticized and by whom?

"How can the convivialist ethos, of a political philosophy of living together in conviviality, and defying hubris, materialise in practice?"

1/7 Just for how long have you thought about changing the conditions and incentives under which you work as a professional in research & innovation (R&I)? How could you enable citizens from all walks of life, regardless of their training and background, to get involved with R&I?

Really interesting opening keynote from Kornelia Konrad on RRI and the dynamics of expectations in sci/tech. Mine this pm sort of follows on through a discussion of the sociology of novelty, with examples from psychiatry, bioscience, and public health.
