Special Details About This Meeting/Audience:
The DSA’s annual conference in 2021 will take place online, organised and hosted by the University of East Anglia. The conference will focus centrally on “Unsettling Development”, while also encompassing the broad range of development studies interests.
DSA 2021 focuses on the theme of unsettling development. By this we mean the multiple pressures that are reshaping how we think, study and effect progressive social change. COVID19, climate change, populism, demands for racial justice and the rise of new powers are among the themes that will be explored. The conference opens up space to do this by bringing in new forms of knowledge and generating new centres of debate. The proposed conversation between the social sciences and the humanities enables a powerful reimagining of the future, while continuing to critically reflect on ongoing practices of marginalisation and adverse incorporation. We are committed to using the possibilities of new technologies throughout the conference to open sites of interaction, participation and engagement.
We invite contributions that help rethink development, particularly from colleagues who are starting their careers. This means questioning the models and theories shaping our field as well as responding creatively to social change. DSA 2021 does this in three areas of global development: environmental justice, inequality and methodologies.
A central theme of the conference is to explore how the work of those outside our field, including novelists and social historians, can help us unsettle our assumptions. For this reason DSA 2021 is a partnership with colleagues in the Sainsbury Centre of Visual Art and the School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing. There will be a series of conversations with unsettling voices, including award-winning writers, activists and thinkers. Alongside paper presentations there will be a series of workshops, bookclubs, and panel discussions, using new methodologies to create imaginative spaces across different time zones.
