COREvents #1: Collaboration and conflict resolution in environmental decision-making - why is it needed and what makes it work?
How could today’s complex and controversial problems such as those related to land use, energy or use of natural resources be solved wisely and fairly?
In this first COREvent, two world class experts on collaboration, prof. Pieter Glasbergen (Netherlands) and prof. Michael Brown (Canada), will share their knowledge on how good results have been achieved by adoption of specific collaborative approaches to planning and decision-making.
In Finland, the potential of such approaches is underused. What could we learn from international practice? Welcome to get inspired by the lectures and join the discussion!
Date: 29 May, 2018, 13:00-16:00
Place: The Swedish School of Economics (Hanken), Auditorium Futurum, Arkadiankatu 22, Helsinki
Programme:
Prof. Michael Brown (1), Consensus Building Institute: Mediation and Collaborative Dialogue: Tools to Address Natural Resource Disputes
Prof. Pieter Glasbergen (2), Utrecht University and the Netherlands Open University: Foundations of the Partnership Paradigm and Beyond

CCR welcomes you to a seminar on:
"Alliances: Interests in Common that are not the same interest"
with Marisol de la Cadena, Professor of Anthropology at the University of California
on Wednesday August 15 from 09:30 to 11:30hrs
at Hanken School of Economics, Arkadiankatu 22, 00100 Helsinki
Room A411 (room subject to later change).
Marisol de la Cadena is Professor of Anthropology at the University of California. Her research interests are located at the interface between STS and non-STS, and they include the study politics, multispecies (or multi-entities) relations, indigeneity, history and the a-historical, world anthropologies and the anthropologies of worlds. In all these areas, her concern is the relationship between concepts and methods, and interfaces as analytical sites. Her recent book Earth Beings. Ecologies of Practice Across Andean Worlds (2015) is based on conversations with two Quechua speaking men that lived in Cuzco (Peru). Through these conversations they think together about life at the intriguing crossroads where modern politics (and history) and earth-beings (and the ahistorical) meet and diverge, thus exceeding each other. The book is an ethnography concerned with the concreteness of incommensurability and the eventfulness of the ahistorical.
After prof. de la Cadena’s presentation, 2-3 PhD students and other researchers are invited to introduce their research interests and ongoing work related to ontological and methodological concerns when doing research at the crossroad of multiple worlds. This is followed by an opportunity to think together about the challenges and opportunities of research in the fields of humanitarian logistics, CSR, and Development Studies, all located in the borderlands of multiple ontologies
If you would like to present your work, please send an email to maria.ehrnstrom-fuentes (at) hanken.fi by June 29 and state your area of research. There is time for up to four brief presentations.
To register, please go here!
Coffee will be served.
If, for any reason, you cannot attend the event, please cancel your participation by sending an email to ccr@hanken.fi at least 24 hours prior to the event.
