XV World Congress of Rural Sociology CANCELLED (Event)

Description

Panel organiser and primary reviewer for panel on “The wicked problem/s of farmer autonomy: re-visiting the peasant principle and struggles for autonomy” :

The struggle for and over autonomy in farming is wicked – unsolvable, shifting and contestable. The philosophical and practical application of autonomy has gained new breadth and depth as scholarship utilising the concept of autonomy has resulted in multiple re-interpretations and applications in novel agricultural, farming and livelihoods contexts. What does the concept of autonomy and the peasant principle offer us now as a philosophical and practical tool?
