In this talk, Neil Selwyn explores how degrowth thinking and alternate forms of ‘radically sustainable computing’ might support ambitions of sustainable, scaled-down and equitable ways of living with digital technologies. Drawing on the latest thinking from across the social sciences, ecological economics, political ecology, environmental justice, and computer sciences, Neil argues that degrowth thinking offers a compelling basis from which to completely rethink our digital futures in these fast-changing times. 3) Zine "Liminal Excavations" (including my contribution, in personal capacity)  : A zine that explores alternative visions, ideas and critiques on the topic of sustainability and ICT https://doi.org/10.21428/57a7f7a7.5d685a20 * * Upcoming Events: =========== * HotCarbon: Workshop on Sustainable Computer Systems Tue.
