9th session of WINS Seminar on July 10, 2014 and 10th session of WINS
Seminar on July 17, 2014 at 3pm (ct.), IRI THESys

Dear colleagues
We welcome you to the 9th and 10th  session of the WINS Seminar series
(Seminar of the Berlin Workshop in Institutional Analysis of
Social-Ecological Systems). 


9th session of WINS Seminar on July 10, 2014 at 3pm (ct.), IRI THESys

Prof. Coleman: Institutional Collective Action and local Forest Commons

Abstract

Forests provide many local and global benefits. In particular, forests
provide livelihood benefits for local subsistence users while simultaneously
providing carbon sequestration to the global public. But despite these
extensive benefits forests are often mismanaged. Only recently have scholars
tried to systematically examine what types of governance institutions are
most likely to engender these benefits. This work, using novel data and
methods, explicitly links different types of governance institutions to
forest benefits. While this research shows promise, it often neglects to
examine how the benefits from effective forest management are distributed
among different groups of resource users. A holistic study of governance
must grapple with the types of governance likely to be both sustainable and
equitable. And to understand benefit-sharing, we must better understand the
role of power in local collective action.


10th session of WINS Seminar on July 17, 2014 at 3pm (ct.), IRI THESys

Dr. Moss: Connecting the socio-technical to the social-ecological.
Reflections on research into the governance of urban infrastructures
Abstract

With my talk I want to use the WINS Colloquium as a platform for exploring
(dis-)connectivity between research on socio-technical systems (STS) and on
social-ecological systems (SES). Building on the assumption that the
research community of WINS is more familiar with the literature on SES and
drawing on my own work on socio-technical systems, I will use an overview of
different strands of the STS literature to draw out areas of
complementarity, resonance and dissonance between the two schools of
thought. I will begin by introducing urban infrastructures as critical
interfaces of human-environment relations before explaining how they are
researched as socio-technical systems. The literature appraisal I will
divide into two parts: firstly, a review of the three epistemological
traditions of socio-technical scholarship (which I term roots) and,
secondly, a reflection on recent conceptual extensions to this corpus of
work (termed shoots). From this analysis I will conclude with some
preliminary reflections on a research agenda to exploit interplay between
SES and STS research of potential relevance to IRI THESys in general and
WINS in particular. 



It will take place on: 

Thursday, July 10, July 17, 3pm (ct.)
Quartier Stadtmitte
Friedrichstr. 191
10117 Berlin

WINS is presently in a stage of formation. Within the interdisciplinary
context of the Integrative Research Institute on Human Environment systems
(IRI-THESyS), it shall serve as a platform for intense exchange of knowledge
and mutual learning between scholars interested in the role of institutions
in Social-Ecological Systems (SES). 

Berlins environmental research community is among the most prolific in
Europe and the world and we want to take advantage of that. Thus, throughout
the 10 sessions of the series we will introduce the work of prominent
scholars from Research Institutes that center around Berlin, including
IRI-THESys, Leibniz Institute for Regional Development and Structural
Planning (IRS), Potsdam Institute for Climate Change, Global Climate Forum,
to mention a few. Additionally, we have visits by scholars from other
European and US Universities. 

WINS Seminar sessions will take place every Thursday, 3pm, during the
summer semester (except for the public holidays). 
On May 15, June 19, and July 10, the WINS Seminar (3pm) will precede the
THESys Lecture series (starting at 5pm). See for more details:

We are looking forward to inspiring presentations and productive exchanges.

Organiser of the WINS Seminar series
