SUMMARY:STEPS/IDS Seminar: Jon Morris - Reimagining development 3.0 for a changing planet
DESCRIPTION:Reimagining development 3.0 for a changing planet \nProfessor Jon Morris\n24 July 2013 at 13.00 – 14.30\nRoom 221\, Institute of Development Studies \nAbout the seminar: \nThe need to ‘re-imagine’ development studies in today’s world arises because of sweeping changes which invalidate the earlier globalization emphasis which has guided social science involvement in applied policy.  Business analysts tell us we work now in World 3.0\, with a rise of emerging markets and a digital world\, where also unexpected events occur frequently.  Drawing on this business literature by Ghemawat and Ramo (and others)\, this seminar explores implications of these changed circumstances\, which suggest we craft Development 3.0 to address planetary needs.  Such an emphasis would privilege sustainability over efficiency\, would look at all nations\, would anticipate urban problems and populations\, and would try to cope more effectively with ‘mashups’: unexpected\, major changes (such as we faced in 2008 and now again in the Arab Spring).  The aim here will be to explore better narratives and changed metrics\, to break out of the earlier assumptions (taken as facts) which guided Development 2.0\, looking to globalization to yield a better world.  \n\nAbout the speaker: \nProfessor Jon Morris is based in southeast Utah\, where he teaches courses in his retirement on Southwest Indian Nations for Utah State University.  His career began in East Africa in the mid-1960s\, on topics related to land settlement\, rural development\, extension\, and education\, finishing as Professor in what is now Sokoine University of Agriculture\, Tanzania.  In the 1980s he worked on pastoralism for ODI\, London\, and on Tanzanian development for Uma Lele in the Bank. In the 1990s\, his focus became African Irrigation and livestock policies\, under USAID funded projects.  For this occasion he looks back on a half century’s development efforts\, tracking how emphases and assumptions change but persistent problems remain. \nAll welcome

SUMMARY:Pathways to Sustainability and the Politics of Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Leach\n\nResearch Fellow\, Institute of Development Studies\n\nAndy Stirling\n\nProfessor of Science and Technology\, University of Sussex\n\nToday’s environmentally anxious age is dependent upon the roles of science\, technology\, and innovation. These are not only complex and uncertain role dynamics\, but they also circulate deeply contrasting narratives about whether or not they matter and to whom\, and what to do about them. \nThis talk will share how researchers at the Social\, Technological\, and Environmental Pathways to Sustainability Centre (STEPS) are thinking globally about sustainability challenges in ways that incorporate concern for equity\, social justice\, and the well-being of marginalized groups. Melissa Leach and Andy Stirling will illustrate a multiple\, flexible pathways approach showing how people produce particular narratives that frame these roles in diverse ways\, promote particular goals and values\, and justify particular responses. \nMelissa Leach directs the STEPS Centre\, an interdisciplinary research and policy center focusing on using science and technology to reduce poverty and improve social justice. Professor Andy Stirling co-directs STEPS with Leach and serves on multiple collaboration-based advisory boards emphasizing democracy\, sustainability\, and equity. \nTuesday\, January 22\, 2013 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. (lunch will be provided) Memorial Union\, Room 202 Alumni Arizona State University\, Tempe campus \nMore information on the Arizona website
