TU Dortmund University has a position available at the Faculty of Spatial Planning, Chair of European Planning Cultures for a Scientific Assistant for the period of three years, starting in autumn. 

This call builds from a joint ACSP/AESOP panel session in 2018 titled “After Hardin.”

The goal of this special issue is to conduct a scholarly autopsy on the role that Hardin’s Tragedy has wrought on planning theory. Such a close examination is urgent as planning seeks to reinvent itself in solving ever-escalating humanitarian crises, as highlighted by keynote speakers at these ACSP and AESOP conferences.

On behalf of Artur R. Pires and myself – as coordinators for the TG Planning education – a huge thank you for the keen interest and enthusiasm in regards to the Planning Education Thematic Group.

We had two short lunchtime meetings during the 2019 AESOP congress (9-13 July) which were filled with wonderfully lively dialogue and discussion. It was fantastic to feel the energy amongst the group members attending. 

Over the next year we want to progress the ideas proposed at the meetings.
