CERN Aotearoa New Zealand
CERN Aotearoa New Zealand meets the last Friday of each month, 1pm to 3pm (NZ time), by Zoom. Members are from Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and the wider Asia-Pacific region. Meetings start with members doing a ‘go round’ to catch up with each other and then there is discussion of a reading. The group uses a shared Google docs to record reactions and thoughts on the readings.

For the last part of 2023, the group is reading four open-access articles on diverse and community economies:

For the first eight months of 2023, the group read Hospicing Modernity: Facing Humanity's Wrongs and the Implications for Social Activism by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira (with a focus on doing the exercises in this book).
