Doughnut Academia
Inspired by Doughnut Economics, the academic doughnut reimagines academia so that it works better for people and planet.
As scientists concerned about the climate crisis, we set out to rethink the role and goals of the university in tackling the 21st century’s challenges. Building directly on Doughnut Economics, we suggest seven principles for rethinking the norms of academia and scientific practice so that our universities can work better for people and respond to the climate and ecological crisis.
These ideas, and our call to action, are described our paper: Urai AE, Kelly C (2023) Rethinking academia in a time of climate crisis. eLife 12:e84991. https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.84991
You can find more information and resources, including recorded talks and an open source workshop we are developing here.

Following successful years as an educator, a community-based entrepreneur, social enterprise developer, investor, and business and organization leader, during which I also provided support to our emerging regional eco-system to encourage startups, I am now a Senior Lecturer in Economics and Entrepreneurship. I teach business economics and entrepreneurship, co-direct our Fimbel Innovation Lab, coordinate our entrepreneurship programming (curricular and co-curricular), and serve on the academic program committee of Entrepreneurship, Organizations, and Society (EOS). EOS establishes the social and environmental context for entrepreneurial action; our entire approach since 2016 has been to ensure that entrepreneurial action and all aspects of business are directly tied to social and environmental issues and impacts.
