EADI ISS General Conference 2020, Call for Panels and Sessions open!
The European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes (EADI) and the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) announce the 16th EADI General Conference, to be held in The Hague (Netherlands) from Monday 29 June to Thursday 2 July 2020.
The central theme of the conference is “Solidarity, Peace and Social Justice”. Together, these three concepts represent our aspirations for approaches to global development that address inequality, poverty and political marginalisation, also in connection with climate change and other environmental threats. Solidarity is essential for any process of social change. Based on mutually shared interests and human values, solidarity can be extremely powerful. Yet it can also be easily undermined in an era of fake news and (electronically) manipulated elections. Peace and social justice are similarly important values in (as well as aspired outcomes of) struggles or transformation processes in which solidarity is key.
Call for Panels and Sessions
We seek to provide spaces for discussion, engagement, sharing, and co-creation among conveners, contributors and participants. For that reason, the conference gives room for a variety of different formats. We explicitly welcome innovative formats, artistic expressions and non-academic contributors.
We call for a variety of different panel and session formats, such as, but not exclusively so:
- Seed Panels (90min)
- Harvest Panels (90 min)
- Roundtable Sessions (90min)
- Workshop Sessions (90min)
- Reading/Reflection Group Sessions (90min)
- General Requirements
Deadline for the submission of panel proposals is 6 September 2019
