Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

It's "help an undergraduate research project time"! Siân is researching how well Scottish people and Scots speakers are understood. Listen to some audio clips and see how well you fare. Took me less than 10mins and it was very fun! forms.gle/wUJBQquieSt2... #OldWeirdScotland

PLC had a productive Board meeting where we tackled key topics like ongoing papers, organizational changes with our new publisher Radboud University Press and our launch event at Politicologenetmaal 2025 in Groningen (stay tuned!). A huge thank you to our editors for their dedication and enthusiasm!

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Of all the stupid suggestions I've seen, perhaps the most stupid is suggesting youth visas between UK and Europe could be delivered with visa waivers. Visa waivers don't give the right to work. Europe is *not* going to give longer visa waivers to Britons so exceptionalists can avoid tax.

📚We just published 'Reviving the commons? A scoping review of urban and digital commoning'. A study supported by Data Civics Observatory @allartmarkets.bsky.social at Edinburgh Futures Institute to explore the potential of the #commons to mend our troubled worlds 👉🏽 efi.ed.ac.uk/reviving-the...

Cover of the report in green, black and white:

Reviving the commons?
A scoping review of urban and digital commoning

James Henderson and Oliver Escobar
August 2024

Data Civics Observatory - Edinburgh Futures Institute

Blurb from the website of the report:

This report explores the contemporary revival of commoning practices in urban and digital contexts. The authors, James Henderson and Oliver Escobar, delve into the historical roots, current manifestations, and future potential of the commons as a paradigm for socioeconomic transformation, democratic innovation and sustainable community governance.

The review aims to contribute to the growing discourse on the commons, highlighting its significance in contemporary societies and its potential as an alternative to traditional forms of socioeconomic and political organisation via the state and/or the market. Practitioners in the field argue that we are witnessing a revival of the commons in the 21st century. This report interrogates the nature of that revival and explores key concepts, examples, trends and debates in theory and practice, while outlining an emerging research agenda.
