A 'Complex Development' for a Diverse and Endangered World: 2023 David Morrison Lecture
Wednesday October 4
7:30 PM
This lecture by Cristina Rojas addresses two of the main challenges facing scholars and practitioners of development: “we are the knowers” and development is for “humans only”. By putting into practice both principles, we have discarded valuable solutions to current problems, including the climate crisis. Rojas is a Distinguished Research Professor in the Department of Political Science at Carleton University. LOCATION: Market Hall Performing Arts Centre (140 Charlotte Street, Peterborough)
