About this Event
This panel discussion engages with past DPU students, staff and friends who identify as 'southern' in some way and engages in a conversation on what does it mean to be 'southern' and think 'southernly' in contemporary development planning. What identities and practices are reified by the label 'southern'? What concepts and theories do 'southern perspectives' illuminate and/or debunk? What do 'southern subjectivities' really offer contemporary development planning? These questions push us further than using the idea of 'being southern' as geographical shorthand for knowing better or knowing differently for development planning.
