Had a lovely time sharing a talk and panel earlier this month at the Brooklyn Public Library on Governable Spaces: Tech for Democratic Communities alongside colleagues and collaborators Nathan Schneider (Governable Spaces), Hazel Devjani (Metagov), and Rudy Fraser (Papertree).
Topics we collectively covered include:
governable spaces and implicit feudalism
financial infrastructure for mutual aid
toolkits for governance
For my portion, I also cover:
collective governance and commoning
examples: participatory budgeting, cooperative models, digital governance
governance archaeology — a collaborative project between myself, Federica Carugati, Nathan Schneider, and Júlia Rodrigues, investigating collective governance practices across history, geography, and culture (more to come soon!)
