Kevin Flanagan

I am a researcher, educator and artist, interested in the relationships between social movements, transformative economic practices and grassroots social innovation. I have a Masters Degree in Fine Art from the University of Ulster, Belfast and a PhD in Anthropology from Maynooth University. My doctoral thesis, 'Commoning the City' examined municipal public policies for participatory and economic democracy in Barcelona, aimed at strengthening the cooperative and solidarity economy, and urban and digital commons in the city. I'm passionate about the relationship between creative cultural practice and social change.
