SUMMARY:Lecture: Why embracing uncertainty means rethinking development
DESCRIPTION:Sussex Development Lecture by Ian Scoones\, co-director of the STEPS Centre \n \nThis lecture makes the argument for putting uncertainty at the centre of thinking and practice in development. This means rejecting a linear\, technocratic framing and embracing the implications of uncertainty for today’s complex\, dynamic world. Through a number of examples – from the fields of banking\, critical infrastructures and disease control – the elements of new thinking on uncertainty and development are explored. \nThe lecture argues\, however\, that those who live with and from uncertainty day-to-day are best placed to innovate and help refashion development more broadly. Drawing from the PASTRES programme\, examples from pastoralism from around the world are offered to demonstrate the importance learning from the margins. The lecture concludes with a reflection on new directions for development that take uncertainty seriously and help refashion the way we imagine the future. \nspeaker\n\nIan Scoones\, Professor\, Institute of Development Studies\, University of Sussex\, co-director of the ESRC STEPS Centre and PI European\, Research Council Advanced Grant\, PASTRES\n\nchair:\n\nPeter Taylor\, Director of Research at the Institute of Development Studies\n\nHow to attend\nThis lecture is held on Zoom\, hosted by the Institute of Development Studies.
