CDD: The Challenges of (studying) development
Civil Society, Development and Democracy (CDD) Pathway training/ call for presentations
With heated debates over the definition of core concepts and desirability of prominent practices, ‘development’ remains an essentially contested field. White Rose institutions share a holistic approach to development, integrating a broad focus on (interactions between) environmental, political, and socio-economic trends and transformations across local, national, and global levels.The White Rose’s Civil Society, Democracy, and Development (CDD) Pathway aims to support bridging across established intellectual divides as a mechanism for advancing understanding of these trends and transformations. Through this one-day workshop, we aim to catalyse a sharing of ideas over the challenges of development, the challenges of studying development, and the tools to address these challenges.
