DSA2023 Call for Panels

Deadline for proposals: extended till 6 December 2022

Don’t miss out on the chance to propose a panel to the HYBRID DSA2023 Conference – Crisis in the Anthropocene: Rethinking connection and agency for development – taking place at the University of Reading – 28-30 June 2023! You can propose a typical paper panel, a roundtable, an asynchronous panel or an experimental format panel of your creation! The conference is also open to submissions outside the conference theme of relevance to current development theory and practice, or topics covered by DSA Study Groups. Convenors can include graduate students, non-members and submissions from the Global South are particularly welcome. As a hybrid conference, this will be our first chance to bring DSA members together since 2019, at the accessible city of Reading, located only 30 minutes from London.
Read the conference theme, and then read the full call for panels page and finally propose your panel via the online form at the bottom of that page.
