“Precarity and Conviviality – Towards a Politics of Rethinking Democracy” was one of the collaborate projects in 2018-19, with three Swedish and three South African participants, representing five universities. We held two workshops in Cape Town and Stellenbosch (March 2019) and one symposium and workshop in Malmö and Kåseberga (September 2019), under the aegis of the research platform Rethinking Democracy (REDEM). One of the participants, MA student Natasha Verco, Malmö, did her Degree Project in South Africa (Western Cape) as part of the project.

The aim of this virtual workshop is to present some of the individual results, catch up with the current Covid 19 situation and discuss possible ways forward for continued collaboration.
