Shaun Chamberlin is an author and activist, based in London, England. He is the author of The Transition Timeline, co-author of several other books including What We Are Fighting For, and chair of the Ecological Land Co-operative.[1][2][3]
He is also known for his collaboration with the late David Fleming, having brought his award-winning lifework Lean Logic to posthumous publication and served as executive producer on Peter William Armstrong's film about Fleming's influence and vision - The Seed Beneath The Snow.[4][5][6]
Biography
Chamberlin studied at Schumacher College in 2006, where his teachers included Rob Hopkins and David Fleming. Hopkins met his future co-founders of the now-global Transition Towns network during the course, and Chamberlin remained a key figure, co-founding Transition Town Kingston before authoring the movement's second book, The Transition Timeline.[7][8][9][10][11][12]
He also retained close links with Fleming, and they together advised the UK government's feasibility study into his influential TEQs system for fuel/electricity rationing in the face of climate change.[13][14][15] Shortly after Fleming's death in 2010, an All Party Parliamentary report advocating TEQs, authored by Fleming and Chamberlin and endorsed by twenty MPs, met with a controversial reception both in the UK and internationally.[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] During this period Chamberlin also spent eighteen months as a director of the campaigning organisation Global Justice Now.[26][27]
In 2012 he collaborated with David Graeber, John Holloway, Ann Pettifor and others on What We Are Fighting For: A Radical Collective Manifesto[28][29], and was also the editor of Mark Boyle's The Moneyless Manifesto. He and Boyle then collaborated towards the realisation of a moneyless community, in partnership with the Ecological Land Co-operative, of which he became chair in 2015.[30][31][32][33]
In 2016, he took a manuscript left by his late mentor David Fleming and edited it for posthumous publication as Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It.[34][35][36] This uniquely formatted book was published alongside the paperback Surviving the Future, conceived and created by Chamberlin after Fleming's death, and consisting of content from Lean Logic which he selected and edited into a straightforward, read-it-front-to-back narrative.[37][38][39] The books were critically acclaimed, won several awards including first place in the 2017 New York Book Show, and were named in multiple Book of the Year lists.[40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51]
He is also noted for coining the widely-adopted term 'Dark Optimism', which The Guardian's Anne Karpf has characterised as "facing dark truths while believing unwaveringly in human potential".[52][53][54][55]
