The interesting and engaging discussion with the speakers and the audience could have lasted for hours, as we dove into topics such as race, gender, nationality, and privilege in scholar-activist struggles. A lively and critical start for the second conference day!.

The second conference day has started with a lively and inspirational plenary session on scholar activism with Manuela Picq, with Barry Gills and @TeivoTeivainen as commentators. #DevDays2025

Ali Kadri is currently giving an illuminating keynote lecture on the topic "De-development and the Accumulation of Waste through Wars". #DevDays2025

In her talk, Sajed tackles the contested laguage used to refer to the Global North/ developing coutries/ Third World. According to her, the language needs to recognise colonial histories as "the very terminology we use delimits our understanding of the world".

Happening now: The Development Days 2025 conference is kicked off with #KAPTalks Kapuscinski Development Lecture by associate professor Alina Sajed, with Dr Teppo Eskelinen as the commentator. #DevDays2025
