The practice of commoning involves the collaborative management of shared resources by a community, guided by principles of mutual aid, sustainability, and equitable access. Commoning is widely seen as a response to privatization, technocentric approaches and historical enclosures of the commons, which continue today through processes like large-scale land grabs and diversion of commons for alternate ‘developmental’ usages. Commoning as a practice challenges traditional power structures and promotes collective, inclusive decision-making. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of social and ecological systems, advocating for community-driven governance of shared resources that enable both human and environmental well-being. Examples of commoning include community governance of forests, pastures, water bodies, gardens, community land trusts, time banks, and open-access publishing and data sharing. This theme particularly welcomes submissions from practitioners and scholars collaborating with practitioners to analyze the impacts of commoning initiatives and explore the practice of commoning in their specific contexts, especially through the lens of gender equity, ecological well-being, and social justice.
