LabEx DynamiTe Postdoctoral Position on Environmental Activism, 2016



LabEx DynamiTe invites applications for examining issues within the Île-de-France region to develop a map of environmental activism. The position is available to undertake research project on “Environmental activism: forms of activism and socio-technical sharing platforms”.

The prime objective of this research project is to renew reflection on civic environmentalism by examining how these local forms of activism reconfigure the ways in which citizens wish to live, according to what goal of community building, and what they contribute to local areas, notably through their economically measurable environmental contributions (direct/indirect evaluation).

The aim is also to better understand how local stakeholders help—through both their local activism and by their interactions and use of digital tools—invent new modes of governing and managing urban areas, in line with the emergence of shared commons thanks to the development of new open and participatory socio-technical platforms.
