inspiring forum for students, academics, and development professionals, to
engage in critical and meaningful discussions pertaining to the field of
international development. Themes that will be unpacked throughout the
course of the weekend include, environmental sustainability, media and
conflict, health and development, privatization and neoliberalism, human
rights, the hierarchy of citizenship, disparities in education and knowledge,
and much more. Delegates will attend panel discussions, workshops, and keynote
presentations, that address these pertinent issues in the field of development.
There will also be meals served and cultural components including art displays,
