Conference
“Capabilities
on the Move: Mobility and Aspirations”
September 10–13, 2015
Washington, DC, USA
The annual
conference of the Human
Development and Capability Association (HDCA) brings together
people from all over the world from different disciplines and fields
interested in human development and the capabilities approach.
The theme of the 2015
conference at Georgetown University is “Capabilities on the
Move: Mobility and Aspirations.” Human development has in
large part been a story of mobility. Geographically, people move to
seek a better job or a better life, and when they succeed, they move up
the socioeconomic ladder, whether as assessed by income or by
capabilities. People’s economic, social, and political aspirations
fuel these efforts; yet aspirations can be quashed by poverty,
inequality, or social exclusion. Mobility can also pose challenges
to human development, ranging from overcrowded cities to widening
inequality, as some get left behind. Examining how mobility and
aspirations interact provides an important window on the dynamics of
human development.
In addition to papers on the conference theme, papers on all core HDCA
topics are welcome. The deadline for submitted abstracts is
now March 15,
2015. Those concerned with obtaining visas to travel to
the U.S. should please submit as soon as possible, however, as earlier
submission will enable an earlier decision. Download the Call for
Papers.
Sharply reduced fees are available to those from low- and mid-income
countries. In addition, Georgetown University has agreed to match
the association’s budgeted scholarship amount, doubling the available
scholarship money. For details on the fee structure, the
theme of the conference, and the types of submission welcomed, please see
the Call for
Papers. Additional information can be found at the
