Would you like to see your photos on the DSA website?

We invite all DSA members and friends to submit images which we can use on our new website. We need images that capture a contemporary view of development studies for use on our main pages, and to add to our media bank to use for news stories. We’ll also share your images with our Twitter followers.

So, if you’ve taken a great picture during your research, fieldwork or travel, and you think it tells a story about development studies, please send it to us! 

Image criteria:

  • At least 2000 px wide
  • Captures one of the many facets of development studies – agriculture, urbanisation, NGO work, poverty, decolonisation, economic growth, gender, global health, environment and climate change etc
  • If your image contains people, you must confirm that you requested their permission both to take and share the image

We will let you know if we decide to use your image on the site, and will make sure all images are acknowledged with your name and the location. Please send your images along with a brief description of the topic and location, along with your details, to [email protected]
