ERPI is starting a Working Paper series, supported by a limited number of small grants, to allow for the writing up of original research. In parallel they are inviting short contributions in a variety of media that help to map out responses and alternatives. The Initiative will hold a major international conference, bringing this work together, with the aim of thinking together about new directions, both for academic research and practical action.
The Emancipatory Rural Politics Initiative (ERPI) 2017-2018 Small Grants Competition received more than 400 applications from all over the world. The winners were announced in September 2017.
We are calling for papers on three subthemes, to be presented at the conference 17-18 March 2018 'Authoritarian Populism and the Rural World' on 17-18 March 2018
