Update on the seminar related to the coronavirus – Covid-19 pandemic!!
Due to the current public health situation and following university guidelines<https://www.abo.fi/en/news/instructions-for-staff-and-students-at-aau/> to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we are currently exploring alternatives to postpone the Minority Seminar: Curriculums for Social Justice due to take place in Vaasa, Finland. Whilst this unfortunately means that we will no longer meet in May 2020, we will inform you of the outcome of our discussions regarding the postponing of the conference within a week.
We are truly disappointed not to be meeting you sooner but we remain hopeful that we will be able to do so in the future.
Kind regards,
The Minority Seminar 2020 Committee

CALL FOR PAPERS / PRESENTATIONS
Development Days 2020 Conference
Inequality Revisited: In Search of Novel Perspectives on an Enduring Problem
26–28 February, 2020
House of Science and Letters
Helsinki, Finland
www.kehitystutkimus.fi/conference<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kehity…>
The problematique of inequality – or, inequalities, to recognise the multidimensionality and complexity of the problem – is re-emerging on the global agenda of development research. In recent decades, development scholars have focused more on the question of poverty. While poverty and inequality are interlinked, inequality is manifested also in many other ways – in structural, material, relational, institutional, geographical and technological terms, and through a variety of social, political, cultural, economic and other phenomena.
Importantly, current debates are critically reflecting on the fact that global inequalities are intimately connected to the history of slavery and Western colonialism, and are continuously shaped, reconstructed, maintained and reinforced by their new, neocolonial and neoliberal forms. There are, however, also some challenges. For instance, analyses of inequality often tend to revolve around neoclassical development economics and its variants, such as the human capability approach or ‘development as freedom’. While postcolonial and feminist approaches have widened the scope, more remains to be done. Further, the ‘economistic turn’ in inequality research has disproportionately focused on the global North, and has not managed to link the question of inequality to the clarion call for global justice. In turn, analyses of inequality have suffered from new forms of stratification. Many studies are methodologically nationalist, although local and global inequalities are increasingly intertwined and injustices are ever more widespread.
There is an urgent need to rethink inequalities in development research and practice. To do so, it is necessary to utilise multi- and transdisciplinary approaches – that is, to learn and share beyond disciplinary boundaries. The Finnish Society for Development Research (FSDR) engages with these ongoing debates through the Development Days 2020 Conference.
We are very pleased to announce our keynote speakers<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kehity…> for the conference:

http://blogs2.abo.fi/minorityseminar2020/
The minority research profile at Åbo Akademi University invites you to its fifth annual seminar that will take place in Vaasa, Finland from May 6th to 8th, 2020. The 2020 theme is “Curriculums for Social Justice” with the aim to collectively discuss how to develop justice-oriented pedagogies. With permeating signs of racism, harassment and violence, as well as increasing social inequalities both locally and globally, there is a need to reflect on the role of education in relation to social justice.
Social justice is not restricted to questions of material deprivation or differences in income, but also considers other aspects of social life, such as cultures, identities, environments and epistemologies. There is a need for reflection on how we – as educators, researchers, students, activists, and most importantly, human beings – can consider these burning and often controversial topics.
Confirmed keynote speakers at the seminar are:
Vanessa Andreotti (University of British Columbia),
Audrey Bryan (Dublin City University),
Nancy Commins & Kara Viesca (University of Colorado, Denver & University of Nebraska, Lincoln, joint keynote),
Pigga Keskitalo (University of Lapland),
