I have spent the past 3 days in the European Parliament for the #BeyondGrowth2023 conference. Here are some of my main takeaways (as a Global South, feminist, decolonial, ecosocialist, social scientist). I understand that it was a very powerfully simbolic experience to be talking about degrowth and postgrowth within the walls of Eurocentric power guided by the mantra of growth. But contrary to my fellow European colleagues, that building represents a lot harm and violence to me.
