The Re-Imagining Economies Project has catalysed new conversations amongst a large and unique group of economic and social geographers at Newcastle University – and beyond.  Bringing together early-career, mid-career and senior colleagues, we are developing new collaborative writing partnerships (academic journal papers, funding applications, policy commentaries) around inclusive economies.  

Governing Inclusive Finance Workshop Report: Towards a Manifesto for Change (June 2018) can be downloaded here. 

The Reimagining Economies Project builds on a series of important earlier interventions by members of the team around finance, governance, labour and resource networks, including:
