The call for papers for the 7th Nordic Development Research Conference 2023 (NorDev) is open.
Theme
This year’s conference theme is centred on what may be called Co-creation for a just transition towards a sustainable society.
Despite achievements in global development, authoritarianism, shrinking civil spaces, environmental degradation, climate change and growing inequality are on the rise. As we face continuous, and often inter-related, political, environmental and social challenges, we recognize a need for new and accelerated global development approaches and processes. As sustainability and development challenges are complex, solutions will require innovative co-creation and coordination of different actors, regions and disciplines, which is why the conference theme is co-creation.
This conference ambitiously aims to provide a space for a state-of-the-art academic discussion and co-creation on just transitions and sustainability. We invite academic contributions from contexts across the globe and provide a platform for extended co-creation where scholars and practitioners can meet and explore meaningful and impactful collaborations to both better understand our challenges and find sustainable solutions.
