Reworlding Spring school - Re-institutioning
Description
The Reworlding Spring School will take place at UHasselt, at the historic Beguinage in Hasselt (Belgium), from 4 to 7 May 2026. This 4-day intensive programme brings together researchers, practitioners and students to explore the role of re-institutioning in socio-environmental transitions.
Through this lens, we examine how institutions can be rethought and reshaped in times of ongoing socio-environmental crises. The programme focuses on the relationships between communities, institutions and more-than-human actors, and explores new forms of inclusive and collaborative governance.
The Spring School is structured around three thematic lenses:
- Politics of Institutions
Exploring power dynamics and roles within institutional change
- Embodied Institutions
Understanding how institutions are experienced and lived
- Institutions in Dialogue
Examining how communities and institutions engage with one another
These themes are explored through keynote lectures, workshops and interactive sessions, allowing participants to engage with different perspectives and contribute their own insights.
