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!

Sajjad is the Founder & President of the Center for International Investment and Commercial Arbitration (CIICA), Pakistan’s first international arbitration center and a Partner at the Lahore-based law firm of Rana Ijaz & Partners. He is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) and an accredited mediator of the Singapore International Mediation Institute (SIMI).   Economics was my favorite subject in my O and A levels and I also majored in it in my undergraduate studies. I am an avid book reader and recently read "Doughtnut Economics" which completely transformed my perspectives on economics and it almost felt like whatever I had learned about economics in my 7 years of high school and university was not correct or even appropriate. I now believe that economics can be a force for good and an agent of change and would, therefore, like to learn more and be actively involved in some capacity to bring about change in Pakistan's economy in particular and the regional and global economy in general.

Morrisville, NC (RTP)

Hello! I found my way to the DEAL community after Googling "must-read books on . My Google search was inspired by my desire to do something beyond the scope of the Holistic certification I recently earned. I desperately desire to help fix a broken system rather than help others navigate and survive one. As a critical thinker, puzzle lover, and management enthusiast—reading Doughnut made me excited about finally having a framework that made saving the world more than just a fanciful dream. Having been in the service and marketing industry for much of my professional life—I've always been conflicted by my love for wonderfully made and curated things and what it took for those things to come to be. While I am great at connecting people and dots—I am currently looking into Environmental Studies undergraduate degrees and possibly an MPA or other advanced degree that will make me even more useful to this cause. I am particularly interested in  , , and . I'm itching to start, but I don't know exactly where and how. I'm hoping joining this community will help me find where I fit and can best contribute! A balance of being outside in and combing through would be ideal.
