Lígia Fernandes is a Portuguese visual artist and curator based in Portugal, focused on the intersection between visual arts, socially engaged art and community economies. In her work she uses drawing and painting as tools to explore cultural universes, ethnographies and identities, and organizing as a means to create space for sharing, collaboration and creation. Her practice is often the result of site-specific research and aims to address the connection with its collective identity. There is, in all her work, a permanent awareness of a Portuguese point of view. Currently she is interested in the role of love in relational art and community economies. She holds and MA in Painting and BA in Drawing from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon, and also a BS and MS in Economics from UCP-FCEE.

Penang, Malaysia

Hello there. I wear many hats, worked on various roles and have a lot of interests! Some few hats that are in the spirit of DEAL: - decentralised  : I have experience in facilitating processes in the spirit of , a and governance framework used by around the world. - philosophical : basically using various enquiry techniques to evoke philosophical points of discussion. - wiki-building : currently working on a passion project that serves to curate human skills, tools and frameworks (like this one but more towards understanding our shared humanity) that would serve as a knowledge so that people (with an internet connection) can use these tools for personal and collective flourishing.

Nijmegen, The Netherlands

I am an Assistant Professor at the chair group of Economic Theory and Policy at Radboud University. I am co-coordinating the multi-disciplinary hotspot Transformative sustainable change in Action at my institute and lead the Participatory Policy Hub with Sustainable Futures Global. My research focuses on transformations and transformative governance towards post-growth and post-development models. My main empirical focus is West and Central Africa.   Since my first year as a student in economics, I have been struggling with the content of what I learned. I was lucky enough however to study at a University (Lille) with a real pluralist non-mainstream institute (Clersé, gathering heterodox economists and sociologists), and realised how much the assumptions and foundations of the economics field are wicked. Now I am back as an Assistant Professor in an economics department in the Netherlands that is not the usual type and one of my goals being an academic is to contribute to changing the discipline and the way we teach from the inside.  Being part of this action lab is an amazing opportunity for this. Besides, we can see so many changes in society as in academia. However, economics departments are not changing or very slowly in comparison, and it is urgently needed as economists are mainly heard when formulating recommendations. Let’s join forces!

San Luis Valley, Colorado, USA

I own a small real estate brokerage in a poor, rural area in Colorado. We are car-dependent, and dependent on money from people who move here from rural areas. Ours is a construction economy, with some limited tourism, and agriculture (mostly corporate) supports the wider region. I am interested in understanding DE as it applies to change in small geographically disparate rural areas. I am also interested in creating a new DE ethos that rethinks the future of home construction, home ownership and the sales/service profession of real estate. #housing #realestate
