[Course User IDPM]

Call for Abstracts – “Digital Development” track
UK Development Studies Association conference, 19-21 Jun 2019, Open University, Milton Keynes, UK

This is a call for abstracts/presentations on the emerging “digital development” paradigm, with an initial deadline of 16 Jan 2019.

We are seeking papers that help us to conceptualise, to analyse, to evidence, to critique and, overall, to build a picture of what this new "digital development" looks like; mapping emergent patterns - ways in which new digital technologies are changing the processes and structures of development; developing new theoretical perspectives; and linking to local and global trends.

The following timeline will be observed:

- 16 Jan 2019 - prospective presenters to submit a “paper proposal” (title, author names & emails, short abstract of <300 characters; long abstract of <250 words) via the conference online form<https://nomadit.co.uk/dsa/dsa2019/conferencesuite.php/paperproposal/7463>.  Track details and link to paper proposal online at: https://nomadit.co.uk/dsa/dsa2019/conferencesuite.php/panels/7463

- Feb: decision communicated on paper proposals

- 28 Feb: conference registration opens (early-bird discounts close 11 Apr)
