  Development Studies Association Australia (DSAA) Virtual Conference 2022, hosted by Western Sydney University

  ‘Un/Doing Development’ signifies both the practice or ‘doing’ of development and the many different ways in which we can think about development being or coming ‘undone’, including decolonising development. Our conference theme allows DSAA members and guests to consider the various ways in which development occurs and is contested.

  Conference Dates: The DSAA conference will be held online 7-8 July 2022, with a HDR Research Day to be held on 6 July, 2022.
