The texts can concern, for instance, your own research, ongoing debates within global education or reflections on a lecture or publication.

Kindly, Heidi Henriksson Co-coordinator of the GERIF network *** [cid:aa08659b-a3d1-4e55-b7da-335269c40495] 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: * Sango Mahanty<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fresearche…>, Associate Professor, Crawford School of Public Policy, The Australian National University * Dan Brockington<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsiid.group…>, Director of the Sheffield Institute for International Development, University of Sheffield The conference will also host a roundtable on inequalities in education.

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), Mariana Souto-Manning (Teachers College, Columbia University), Greg Wiggan (University of North Carolina, Charlotte) The registration for the Minority Seminar 2020: Curriculums for Social Justice is now open!! Please register for the Minority Seminar 2020 here<https://shop.abo.fi/p/890-minority-seminar-2020-curriculums-for-social-just…> (The registration is done through the Åbo Akademi University Webshop) Registration Fees Basic registration fee*: € 60,00 Student registration fee**: € 30,00 Optional seminar dinner: € 50,00 The seminar dinner will take place on Thursday, May 7th, 2020 at Strampen restaurant. The registration fee covers lunch and coffee breaks each day of the seminar.
