ESRC Conference on Development

Monday 10th - Wednesday 12th May, 2004.

Gregynog Hall

Development studies is a hybrid discipline that draws upon a wide spectrum of academic interests: economics, sociology, planning, social policy, geography, health, education, product design and manufacture, human rights, child welfare, culture, the environment, tourism, labour and employment etc. Consequently, there are interested academic staff, postgraduates and practitioners working across a range of departments.

The proposed colloquium will, therefore, provide an important focus for researchers and practitioners with diverse backgrounds and interests. The themes of this first development colloquium will not be restricted. However we are particularly interested in promoting links between international development issues and the post-devolution agenda in Wales.

This conference is organised by the Cardiff Group.
