Routledge Handbook of Degrowth Tour 2025
The Routledge Handbook of Degrowth is going on a grand tour of Europe, from late April 2025.
Through May and June, the editor of the handbook, Anitra Nelson, and it’s editorial adviser, Vincent Liegey, will speak alongside contributors of chapters at numerous events in various European cities.
The book will be released 25 June in the week-long 18th Conference of the International Society for Ecological Economics and 11th International Degrowth Conference 24–27 June 2025 in Oslo (Norway), where we will have our international launch with a large panel of contributors.
The handbook will be open access so all can enjoy it!
