PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Ostrom Workshop is proud to announce the first Ostrom Summer Academy launching in May 2022. We worked with members of the International Association for the Study of the Commons' (IASC) Early Career Network to create and design this special Academy to introduce early-career scholars and practitioners to the literatures and methodologies for which the Ostrom Workshop is known, including but not limited to: Ostrom Design Principles, Analytical Frameworks (IAD, GKC, SES), Polycentricity, and the Bloomington School. We will also be showcasing an array of practical advice and tips such as grant-writing best practices, mentoring, building effective interdisciplinary teams, publishing and placement. The format will include both live synchronous sessions, which will take place over the course of 6 weeks, small group topical discussions, and access to asynchronous content.
