I'm an independent researcher based in Cork City, Ireland.  I work with organisations in the community and voluntary sector, along with the public and private sectors.  My interests in people, community, nature and our collective future all intersect around 'care'.  

I have come to the DEAL Community seeking to learn from people and groups who are applying Doughnut Economics to their lives, businesses and communities.  I would like to connect with others interested in applying DE in Ireland at various spatial scales.  

I find Dr. Riane Eisler's 'partnership-domination social scale configuration' is a very helpful overarching framework for thinking about Doughnut Economics.  Her 'cultural transformation theory's' four cornerstones offer a pathway to a caring economics (the 3rd cornerstone) along with 'childhood relations' (1st), 'gender relations' (2nd) and 'stories, narratives' (3rd).   See more at: https://www.partnerism.org/ and https://centerforpartnership.org/
