We are run by a Council elected by our members

Who we are

DSA is run by an elected Council. Most members of Council are based in universities or development organisations in the UK. Two members of Council are based in the global South, and elected directly by global South members.

Please do say hello if you see us at meetings or conferences, or feel free to contact us on email.

DSA has one member of staff, our Communications Officer. Our finance and administration are run by NomadIT
