ANNE SHERIDAN - The Degrowth Movement

Event Date: January 24, 2025
Time: 4:00 pm

This Event is on Zoom.

Degrowth is an idea that critiques the global capitalist system which pursues growth at all costs, causing human exploitation and environmental destruction. The degrowth movement of activists and researchers advocates for societies that prioritize social and ecological well-being over corporate profits, over-production, and excess consumption. This requires radical redistribution, reduction in the material size of the global economy, and a shift in common values towards care, solidarity, and autonomy. Degrowth means transforming societies to ensure a good life for all within planetary boundaries.

Anne Sheridan has worked with SanDiego350, California Doughnut Economic Coalition, Degrowth California, DegrowUS, and the International Degrowth Network to develop strategy, advocate for policy, and build organizational capacity. She is motivated by a vision of a world where everyone works to meet each other’s needs through the compassionate, collaborative, and ecological management of resources. Her work focuses primarily on cultivating tools and practices for participatory decision-making and conflict transformation. She holds a Masters degree in Degrowth: Ecology, Economics and Policy from the Autonomous University of Barcelona in Spain, the only university to offer such a degree in the world.
