Channel: UK Society for Co-operative Studies
Date: 2022-11-09

This seminar, organised by the UK Society of Co-operative Studies (UKSCS) with the EMES International Research Network (EMES) and European Research Institute for Co-operative and Social Enterprise (EURICSE), took place on 11th October 2021. It was hosted and recorded by the FairShares Institute for Co-operative Social Entrepreneurship at Sheffield Hallam University.
 
The theme of the seminar was Conceptions of (Co-operative) Wealth. We called for papers that explore the arguments for integrated accounting and social auditing, and papers that consider the relevance of a changed perspective on wealth and sustainable development in new co-operatives. What recognition and rewards are given for contributions of natural, human, social, intellectual, manufactured and financial capital? How is the concept of ‘capital’ being conceptualised in the spaces for new cooperativism? What is the importance of the Prosumer concept to wealth creation in new co-operatives?
