Library of the Commons

A first map of Elinor Ostrom's academic lineage: the Workshop PhDs and affiliated scholars who carry her work on governing the commons. Inner ring: dissertations on commons, resources and collective action. Middle ring: other institutional analysis. Outer ring: affiliated faculty. Built for the Global Commons Initiative as the start of a brain trust.

First generation only; the source lists dissertations supervised by Workshop faculty, not only by Ostrom herself. Tiers are first-pass labels, not probabilities. Next pass: later PhDs, students of students, and the citation network. Open data in the Global Commons repository under data/lineage/.
