The Social Development Department (SDV) and the Development Research Group (DECRG) have joined hands to organize a new bi-weekly seminar series. The aim of this series is to supplement the many research seminars in economics at the Bank by featuring the best scholarly work in the non-economic social sciences -- critical, empirically engaged research in anthropology, sociology, philosophy and political science that has implications for development thought and policy.  The seminar will normally be organized every second Tuesday from 12:30 - 2:00 PM.  If you would like to be included in periodic announcements for this seminar series please send an email to Paulina Maribel Flewitt (pflewitt@worldbank.org)   Featured Speakers in FY09  October 16, 2008: Daniel Bromley, University of Wisconsin-Madison Daniel Bromley: The Economic Reach of the African State: Notional Governance and the Mask of Citizenship  November 20, 2008: P Singh, Georgetown University JP Singh: Negotiation and the Global Information Economy  December 18, 2008: Ann Swidler & Susan Cotts Watkins Ann Swidler & Susan Cotts Watkins, Teach a Man to Fish: The Doctrine of Sustainability and Its Social Consequences in Malawi  Featured Speakers in FY08  Top |
