David once said, “we are all, and have always been, projects of mutual creation.” Being part of the David Graeber Institute means means giving your time and energy because you believe these ideas matter. We’re here to build alternatives, support one another, create space for care, imagination, and solidarity — and to explore better ways of being together.
On our website, you’ll find a list of current functions and projects — but we also welcome new ideas. If you want to offer something that aligns with our goals, we’d love to hear from you.
Here are some of the areas where volunteers can get involved:
DESIGN AND LAYOUT
Help us craft compelling visuals and engaging layouts for our publications and online presence.
TEXT EDITING
Support our editorial team by working with texts across multiple formats and languages.
IMAGE EDITING
Assist with visual curation, image research, and photo editing for our projects.
TRANSLATION
Join our multilingual translation team to make DGI’s work accessible to wider audiences.
WIKIPEDIA
Contribute to updating and expanding Wikipedia entries connected to DGI’s fields of interest.
SUPPORTING DAVID GRAEBER’S ARCHIVE
You can help us:
– find new materials about David Graeber
in different media and languages.
