Biography
Rafael Ziegler is an associate professor at HEC Montréal and director of the Director of the Alphonse and Dorimène Desjardins International Institute for Cooperatives. He is associate editor of the Journal of Human Development and Capabilities and the Journal of Social Entrepreneurship, and has published the books Creating Economic Space for Social Innovation (Oxford 2019, with Alex Nicholls) and Innovation, Ethics and Our Common Futures (Edward Elgar 2020). When he was a schoolchild in Germany, the Chernobyl nuclear accident happened. A group of parents responded creatively founding an energy cooperative that took over the local grid, and in doing so significantly contributed to the country’s energy transition. Inspired by such innovators from an early age, Rafael is interested in innovations and ideas contributing to transformations towards sustainability.
