DSA 2024 – Social justice and development in a polarising world
Our 2024 conference took place as a hybrid conference organised and hosted by School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) University of London.The DSA2024 conference explored what thinking more explicitly about global development from a social justice perspective can offer development theory and practice, with a particular focus on the three core strands: rights and representation; redistribution and restoration; reproduction and production.
Hybrid in 2024
In 2024, our annual conference was hybrid (in-person and online combined) to ensure the highest levels of inclusion, flexibility and engagement. We had a range of panel formats to choose from to achieve maximum participation.
