Recent Key Contributions to the Field
Transformative Scholarship
Hosseini's transformative scholarship is a fresh and practical approach to understanding and solving global issues. It goes beyond traditional thinking by acknowledging that our understanding of the world is influenced by our values and experiences, while also stressing the importance of moral judgment in research. Hosseini emphasizes the interconnectedness of human and environmental factors, and challenges the dominance of Western perspectives by incorporating diverse global insights. His work is innovative, blending idealistic visions of a better future with realistic strategies, and actively engages in reimagining how societies can transform beyond current capitalist structures. This approach is about looking at the bigger picture, understanding the various forces at play in our world, and finding new, cooperative ways to address the challenges we face globally.
Drawing inspiration from, yet maintaining a critical stance towards, post-capitalist perspectives such as eco-Marxism, eco-Anarchism, democratic confederalism, eco-feminism, convivialism, anti-colonialism, degrowth, commons movement, economic democracy, and the solidarity economy, Dr. Hosseini's work stands out for its intellectual rigor and profound impact. His approach goes beyond mere adoption of these ideologies; it involves a nuanced and reflective engagement that enriches his research and makes it deeply impactful in addressing contemporary global challenges.
Commonist Value Theory
Hosseini's commonist value theory, as presented in his book CAPITAL REDEFINED (with B K Gills, 2024) offers a transformative approach to understanding and critiquing capital. It emphasizes the importance of a normative frame of reference, promoting the collective creation and distribution of true value based on social justice and ecological sustainability, thereby challenging existing power structures and capitalist relations.
Research Highlights:
- Studying Post-C5 Alternative Futures beyond dependency on Carbon / Capital/ Coloniality/ Compulsive Growth / Corruptive Politics; using Eco-Commonism (watch YouTube) and Transversalism as meta-theoretical and meta-ideological frameworks. (Post-Capitalist Futures Studies, Transformative Global(ization) Studies, Critical Development Studies. Social Movement Studies)
- Liberation Methodology: Applied Social and Community Informatics to promote post-capitalist futures, including the application of (Big) Social Data Analytics (SoDA), Q Methodology, Discourse Network Analysis (DNA) and Social Network Analyses (SNA) for empowering post-C5 coalitions, enterprises, and communities through co-creating "Open Data" Commons, Knowledge Commons, and Commonist Information Ecologies. (Critical Computational Social Sciences - CCSS; Social Informatics; Social Statistics; Complex Indicators Development)
- Studying social and communal “Well-Living” as a post-Eurocentric, decolonial alternative way of understanding Quality of Life (QoL) and Well-being. (Quality of Life Studies; Postcolonialist Studies; Post-development studies)

Deliberating Alternatives to Capital: A Critical Cosmopolitanist Approach Organisation: University of Technology, Sydney Description: 20 Nov. 2013 Seminar Series presented at Cosmopolitan Civil Societies Research Centre (paper is coauthored with Barry Gills, University of Helsinki) This paper outlines the principles of a new theoretical approach to studying ‘transformative ideological visions’ and “regenerative social counter-currents” that may significantly influence debate and practice around constructing new radical and democratic alternatives to existing systems of domination and hierarchy embedded in capitalist social relations. When dealing with transformative ideas and practices, a critical account of cosmopolitanism can be employed in two ways: (1) as a critical analytical framework, that helps us examine alternative ideologies to the social relations of capital, in terms of their capacity to create historical “moments and conditions” for other alternatives to flourish; and (2) as a normative framework, that can facilitate an accommodative relationship between rival transformative practices and political agendas. |

“Many Post-modern Princes? Rival cosmopolitanisms in the global field of justice movements” Organisation: Department of Political and Economic Studies Description: PhD/research seminar programme autumn 2013, 5 Sept. 2013. Coordinated by Prof Heikki Patomaki In this seminar presentation, Hosseini reflects on the recent organizational and ideational shifts in the so-called global justice movements. While some recent studies conceptualize these movements as ideologically mature and coherent, other inquiries highlight growing disorganization, fragmentations, disappointments and disputes. The former argue that underlying global solidarities are coherent cosmopolitanist or globalist values, whereas the latter claim that the global justice movements lack the necessary ideological vision for uniting the masses behind a global project for changing the world capitalist system. Alternatively, by drawing on his research project (2002-2006) and examples from the post-GFC uprisings including the Occupy movements in 2012, Hosseini argues that there have been four major parallel trends of ideological transformation, dividing the global of field of resistance between rival camps in terms of their orientations towards cosmopolitanist values. There are however significant potentials for traversing the divisions between the cosmopolitanist camps. |

Future Societies: Beyond Capitalist Globalization School of Humanities and Social Science - Faculty of Education and Arts - The University of Newcastle Capitalist and liberal democratic systems, while being at their global climax in both the developed and developing worlds, are facing serious challenges: from the rising socio-economic inequalities, to the disturbing uncertainties in food, fuel and finance, to the looming threats of nuclear conflicts, trade wars/rivalries, political extremism, terrorism, global pandemics, and above all, climate change. Will global capitalism and Euro-centric modernity survive these crises? Will we be able to transition smoothly into more sustainable and resilient socio-ecological systems? Can new technological advances save civilization? Or do we need far more radical transformations and urgent responses at both the macro and micro levels? Is the end of 'organized life' now more imaginable than the end of capitalism? Is Life beyond Capital, Carbon, Constant growth and Consumerism possible or is this just a utopian dream? What are the plausible post-capitalist futures and how can they be realized? This course attempts to answer these questions by investigating how the past and present major trends of change influence our future and how grassroots initiatives and movements strive to create future societies beyond dependence on capital, carbon, consumerism, growth, and discrimination. More specifically, it provides us with key insights into the nature and future of capitalist globalization for social justice, sustainability and development. |

Globalisation, Social Justice, and Development University of Newcastle - Faculty of Education and Arts This course concentrates on the ways in which social change happens at the global level and explores how different societies are influenced and challenged by such changes. It provides students with key insights into the economic, political, and social implications of globalization for social justice and development. The course considers the impacts of globalization at the local, national, and international scale. Topics and methods are drawn from the disciplines of sociology, economics, politics, and geography. It helps students to analyze the consequences of major globalization processes (such as the trans-nationalization of policies, ideas, ideologies, and population movements) for human development and the role of powerful agents like international organizations and states underlying these processes. Students will also explore the root causes of new global risks and crises (such as global inequality, global poverty, global financial crises, conflicts, and the violation of human rights, democratic deficit, and environmental degradation) and work towards the proposition of alternatives and solutions based on a new notion of global social justice.

[more] Evidence is mounting of severe planetary and civilizational crises, interrelated and mutually constitutive of one another at unprecedented scales caused by the ¿globalization' of a hegemonic mode of civilizational ¿(mal-)development.' Critical scholarship in both Development and Global(ization) Studies faces numerous challenges. In this article, we argue that critical scholarship needs to be radically transformed to become radically transformative. This means that we need to critically revisit what identifies both fields as ¿critical¿, at the meta-theoretical level, as a joint transformative project, fundamentally independent of capital¿s discursive lexicons and historical logics. An ontological recognition of the truth and a new dialectic of the truth and the real help enact an action-oriented agenda to explore the potentials for liberation. It is now time to bravely explore the realm of impossibility by re/imagineering alternative lifeways beyond capital, beyond fossil fuel, and beyond commodity-oriented cumulative growth and their associated narrow rationalities.

Thi... [more] The experience of job market disadvantage is not a novel phenomenon for some in contemporary Australia, even in the face of embedded equal employment opportunity (EEO) ideals. This article addresses the phenomenon of persistent job market disadvantage for some minority groups by presenting new data from a major multi-method study on labor market obstacles for Muslims seeking jobs in Australia. Responses from jobseekers and employment service providers are analyzed together to consider how EEO principles are experienced by Muslims who engage with employment services and move in and out of the labor force. The article proposes that key EEO tenets-freedom from discrimination and support to overcome disadvantage-are not represented at present in many Muslim jobseeker experiences. Furthermore, these same EEO principles appear to be somewhat compromised in employment service provision to Muslim jobseekers and, by extension, to other disadvantaged minority jobseekers. We offer some suggestions as to how the spirit of EEO legislation might be better reflected in support of Muslim jobseekers. It is concluded that an all government approach may be needed to counter the deep mistrust of Muslims in Australian society. © 2013 Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs.

The Routledge Handbook of Transformative Global Studies$1,833
The Routledge Handbook of Transformative Global Studies
Editors: S. A. Hamed Hosseini, Barry K. Gills, James Goodman, Sara Motta
Chief Editor Address/Affiliation:
Dr. S. A. Hamed Hosseini F., School of Humanities and Social Sciences, The University of Newcastle, Callaghan, NSW, 2308, Australia.
1. Aims and Approach
In recent years, the fields of global studies and globalization studies have faced serious challenges as the result of deepening interrelated global crises and remarkably complex structural changes with highly diversifying impacts on different localities. There are many challenges: from the escalation of inter- and intra- national socio-economic disparities to growing gaps in access to technological advancements, from regional financial collapses and persisting economic stagnations to the greater polarization of global power structures, from the subordination of democratic institutions as well as mounting sectarian conflicts to the looming climate-induced mass population movements, from the paradoxical globalization of anti/de- globalist forces such as terrorist networks intermingled with never-ending state-led wars on terror to the recent ethno-nationalist populist backlashes and the looming threat of nuclear war, from increased complexities of the politics of climate change to social risks posed by monopolized Artificial Intelligence, just to name a few of the most striking challenges.
Such an unprecedented, perplexing series of transformations in the age of so-called victorious post-Cold War neoliberal globalism have occurred too fast to be satisfactorily comprehended, morally evaluated and practically prepared for. The chaotic nature of global transitions has now translated into our intellectual realms in the form of widening loopholes, diverging discourses, and increasingly controversial normative debates. However, contrary to this context, we can confidently speak of a unique ‘historical interregnum’ where more genuinely critical self-reflections, brave intellectual speculations about the imminent social trends, as well as greater transdisciplinary collaborations across theories and localities, are needed in order to catch up with the pace of unfolding events.
The ‘interregnum’ is a great transition period in human history - where the failures of the dominant paradigm of neoliberal economic globalization and (mal)development compel radical departures from the inherited patterns. What may come out of this period must become the subject of intellectual speculations rather than deterministic prophecies. This collection therefore has a focus on exploring emergent transformative ideas and praxes.
The Routledge ‘Handbook of Transformative Global Studies’ (‘Handbook’) is in part a radically critical response to the twin failures of neoliberalism and developmentalism. It is also a pioneering effort towards the discussion of alternative modes of livelihood and communal solidarity beyond dependence on carbon, capital, commodity and growth. The ideology and historical project of ‘neoliberal economic globalization’ has failed, and its future trajectory points to potentially deeper global crises in the 21st century. The ideological project of ‘development’, understood as limitless linear economic growth in a globalized capitalist economy, has also failed - and in practice has become highly destructive. This handbook brings the failures of neoliberal globalism and developmentalism into a dialogue, drawing on the rich critical literature in both fields. It especially seeks to draw on studies of global processes such as world systems hegemony transitions, global polarizations and regionalizations, and investigations into the mobilization of post-neoliberal projects across localisms, cosmopolitanisms, and transversalisms.
The Handbook aims at promoting deliberation between diverse, fresh efforts at comprehending the shifting terrain of global studies, engaging emerging and established scholars from both Southern and Northern contexts. Contributors to this collection are well aware of the challenges and necessity to reshape the field under the new circumstances. The Handbook thereby pioneers in providing new analyses and theories of 21st Century global changes, creating the longer perspective needed to proactively conceptualize historical events as they unfold.

Society, Health and Disability Research Group: New Horizons$15,000
(Hemsley) and sociology (Brosnan), the group includes two cohorts of researchers at different stages of the research track record and grants cycle: one comprises researchers who are grant active and ready to submit grants; the other includes several researchers who are keen to do research and are building publication track record to become grant ready. Overall, the group needs to build shared track record on publications and grants, to reflect its interdisciplinary focus. The activities proposed will increase the team’s capacity for joint research output and strategic grant income, build links with industry partners, and strengthen collaborations across the University and beyond. The integrated activities planned are: (i) ThinkWell workshops on ‘group research publication and grants strategy’, and (ii) a two-day conference (including keynotes, plenary presentations, and round-tables involving industry) to coincide with and leverage the value of the group’s visit from International Visiting Research Fellow, Professor Alan Cribb, King’s College London.

Reimagining Quality of Life Post-COVID19 2021 - 2022
This project aims to produce an alternative conceptual framework for influencing policy, public debate, and research addressing quality of life and social progress. The goal will be achieved by empirically exploring and critically examining how transformative notions of ‘good life/well-living’ are constructed at the grassroots level.
The project will thus give voice to grassroots and community organizations in reshaping public debates on Quality of Life and well-being. It will also lead to an improved evidence-based output of value to end-users in reference to a greater status in the evolving field of ‘quality of life studies’ at the forefront of HASS in Australia.
The project consists of three components: (1) A national social survey that maps progressive initiatives and organisations which work towards transforming quality of life in the economic, political, social, ecological, and cultural spheres; (2) multiple in-depth interviews and focus group conversations with a smaller sample of the participants; (3) From June to October 2021, The Alternative Futures Research Hub (AFRHub), the University of Newcastle’s first community partnered research hub (in partnership with NENA), has been organising a monthly online webinar series that brings together activists, intellectuals and academics from a diverse range of perspectives and experiences to present and discuss their alternative visions about the Quality of Life.
See the Webinar Series Program in 2021
For more information about the project and the series, you may contact Dr. Hosseini, the lead investigator of the project

Re-valorising ‘value’: How a new notion of ‘value’ can radically change our understanding of capitalism in the 21st century 2023
Background: Key historical processes that pose serious challenges to modern civilization include the hyper-exploitation of labor, and of the environment, worldwide decline in liberal democracy, and under-investment in infrastructures necessary for ecological sustainability, paired with over-concentration of wealth, capital, and power. The parasitic accumulation of unproductive, irresponsible capital is a defining feature of the current condition and provokes multiple crises. We are indeed in a general world system crisis that requires critical scholarship to be fundamentally transformed, to become more deeply transformative.[1]
The social power of ‘capital’ has never been greater than in the present. Capital constantly evolves in both nature and structure, thus continually posing new challenges to social theory. Capital, especially in its economic form, has subsumed almost all aspects of social life and dictates what should be valued and what should not. We urgently need to rethink the nature of capital in the current critical context, re-examine its conceptual foundations, and its power and consequences in the world around us. But how can one redefine capital without redefining ‘value’ as well? In response to the recent crises of the capitalist world system, a new scholarly interest in revitalizing and broadening the notion of ‘value’ has surfaced. It is time to move beyond the acceptance of the notion of value as dictated by capital, they argue.[2]
Aims: This project, directed by CI Hosseini and PI Gills (who have established an enduring intellectual partnership), will be pioneering the development of a new conceptual framework by critically reviewing the emerging perceptions of ‘value’ in the recent critical theories of capital. The project consists of three essential activities: (1) A systematic critical literature review of the post-GFC[3] advancements and controversies in the literature on the nature and future of capital/ism in the 21st century. (2) Developing a new conceptual base to initiate a dialogue between the Investigators and a group of leading international scholars (identified through the literature review) who have recently addressed the important topic of reinventing a consistent value theory of capital; (3) Presentation of the group’s views through an edited collection and an (online) forum (co-hosted with EXALT, U of Helsinki). The significance of this project lies in its original and creative contribution to the topic by addressing the abovementioned urgency and by embarking on a new dialogue to answer one of the most fundamental questions in critical theory (i.e., the evolving nature of capital). Benefits: The project will propose an applicable conceptual framework appropriate for empirical studies of a wide range of novel topics from digital labor under platform capitalism to self-sustaining modes of value production and can place UON at the forefront of currently intensifying intellectual discussions about the future of capital/ism.[1] (S A Hamed Hosseini et al. 2020b, 2020a; S.

Critical Openness: A New Synthetic Social Index 2015
The aims of this project are as follows:
- (Re-)introduce ‘critical open-mindedness’ as a new sociological concept, which can be employed particularly in the studies of social attitudes, social values, identities, and racial and perceptual discrimination.
- Develop a relevant Synthetic Social Index comprising five composite social sub-indicators/dimensions for the purpose of both primary and secondary quantitative data analyses.
By processing the secondary data produced through the World Values Surveys in Australia in 2005 and 2012, the application of the ‘Critical Open-mindedness Index’ (COI) is examined and the findings are discussed.
Development of a Likert Scale to measure COI.
- Develop an index of Cognitive Open-mindedness based on a number of social-psychological indicators drawn from the same data sets.
- Propose an integrative approach that aims to flexibly draw on the advantages of existing methods. The decisions on how to integrate methods of composition are pragmatically made, depending on the nature of data, the validity of the end results and the objectives of the study.
- Propose a new method of penalization in this process based on the ‘variation/deviation from the maximum’ across the sub-indicators.
- Examine the external validity of the results based on the regression of the COI on sensibly predicting factors in order to validate the CIs and thereby choose the most suitable method of integration.
