A one-day research symposium hosted by DSA Scotland and University of Edinburgh's Centre of African Studies and Global Health Policy Unit

Recovering DevelopmentGlobal development is undergoing a period of profound transformation. The COVID-19 pandemic reversed progress that had been made against poverty and inequalities, while 2024 was the first year that the world exceeded 1.5C above pre-industrial temperatures, driving growing climatic instability. Meanwhile recent political events mean that the Fourth Financing for Development Conference taking place this year comes amidst collapsing support for development programming amongst the ‘donor’ community of old. Faced with mounting chaos, uncertainty, and discord, what prospect is there for recovery in development?This one-day research symposium, co-hosted by the Development Studies Association Scotland Study Group and the University of Edinburgh’s Centre of African Studies and Global Health Policy Unit, seeks to bring together scholars and active researchers studying these areas to unpack and critique recent changes in global development. It will invite multi-disciplinary perspectives, aiming to generate discussion and stimulate learning across boundaries.The symposium will take place in-person and registration is free. Contact the organisers via the email for further information.
