The Centre for Reimagining Transitions (CRT) situates itself in a context of the Global South to include, but not be limited to, discourses and practices of post-development, alternatives to development, the crisis of civilization, the rights of nature, and post-extractivism.
Focused on Indian and Asian contexts we immerse in and investigate existing transition discourses as well as emerge new transition discourses and practices that link together cultural, politico-economic, ecological, spiritual and consciousness aspects to design societal transitions towards building an ecological civilization.
We believe that earth is a single sacred community bound together in interdependent relationships. By recognizing the rights for all humans and living beings, our transdisciplinary inquiries are grounded in places, bioregions, historic cultures, civilizations as well as the self.
Vision
Our vision is to investigate, reimagine and collaborate to define new transitions and transitional frameworks in Indian, Asian and Global South contexts to design and move towards more pluriversal futures and building an ecological civilization.
Flux, dynamic change and uncertainty are what we are designing for by researching through civilizational, ecological and geological time frames for both micro and macro-shifts based on deep transitions.
Our work is centered in convivial and relationship-centric approaches to build autonomy and agency in diverse communities, as well as bring the more-than-human world into focus. In the era of climate change and eco-cultural crisis, we are keen to build theoretical and practice frameworks as well as philosophical positions on transitions.
