August 2025: Rethinking Economics Summer School on Heterodox Strategies on Housing, Energy, and Agriculture against the New Right
Group members Aimen Abbas, Ayça Akçakoca, and Vipul Chawla participated in the Rethinking Economics Summer School, organized by the Institute for Transformation and Economy Studies . The Summer School brought together academics and practitioners to explore diverse economic schools of thought and to engage in discussions on anti-fascist economics—its causes, consequences, and potential courses of action.
During the Summer School, participants examined topics such as housing system transformation through systems thinking and financialization, the role of agriculture in sustainable food transitions, and energy policy and climate action in the context of politicization and populism.
Vipul Chawla presented his work on “Income Inequality and Housing Living Space in Europe.” His workshop invited participants to reflect on critical questions, including what constitutes adequate housing, how housing living space can be measured, and which factors influence housing adequacy. His study explores the relationship between income inequality and housing living space, with a focus on how this relationship differs between post-socialist and non-post-socialist countries in Europe.
