While development seems continually to be in a state of crisis, now that state is heightened. Reshuffling of global powers, climate and biodiversity crises, and technological and military crisis are upending development institutions. Moments of crisis are moments of renewal. For 25 years, the Polson Institute for Global Development has supported critical and innovative work by researchers and practitioners to address challenges in development. In this conference we will build on this legacy by bringing development practitioners, activists, policymakers, and researchers together to ask how development will be renewed. We will address five emerging themes: New terrains of geopolitics and governance; Rights, needs, and capabilities; Digital transformations; Plundering and nurturing environments; and Real alternatives. Keynote panels will be broadcast for remote participants; in-person participants will take part in break-out sessions and plenary discussions. Online sessions of research papers and action pitches will include local and remote participants. Through conversations grounded in practical engagement and critical analysis, we will set a new vision for development.
