DSA2025 – Navigating crisis: dangers and opportunities in development
Our 2025 conference will take place as a hybrid conference organised and hosted by the Centre for Development Studies, University of Bath. The DSA2025 conference will explore ways in which development theories and practices, contested epistemologies and methodological challenges confront crises and uncertainty, and contribute (or not) to new opportunities for positive change.
Hybrid in 2025
In 2025, our annual conference will be hybrid (in-person and online combined) to ensure the highest levels of inclusion, flexibility and engagement. We have a range of panel formats to choose from to achieve maximum participation.
