DSA Annual Conference 2010: Values, Ethics and Morality

The 2010 Development Studies Association (DSA) conference will focus on Values, Ethics and Morality.

This one day conference provides an opportunity for colleagues to reflect critically upon fundamental concepts of development.  

The conference will focus on four key questions:

• What is the ethical basis for creating better futures for the lives and worlds of others?
• To what extent are essentially relativist positions presented as universal; and are fundamental principles, such as rights, justice and freedoms, ethnocentric in how they are defined and applied?
• Are any new universals emerging?
• What alternative values, ethics and moralities could usefully inform development theory and practice?

Fees

All those attending the DSA Annual Conference are required to be members of the Association.

• Student/Concessionary members: £45
• Full individual and Institutional members £55

Non-members will need to join the DSA before registering for the Conference.
