1.4.1: Keynote - Development in the 21st Century: What’s Worth Re-imagining? (Hybrid) Location: Vari Hall - VH C Chair: Nathan Andrews Four years ago, Robtel Neajai Pailey re-invigorated a debate about the colonial underpinnings of mainstream development and its racist logics with an influential journal article entitled ‘De-centring the “White Gaze” of Development’. She has since distinguished herself as a critical public voice on decoloniality. In this ‘keynote conversation’ with CASID board member Themrise Khan, Pailey reflects on a range of issues at the intersection of scholarship and social justice, including, but not limited to: reparations as more emancipatory than aid; indigeneity as a proxy for racial minority status; mainstreaming race as an anti-racist agenda for development; diasporas as both spoilers and enablers of development; citizenship as a continuum of inclusion and exclusion; Canada as a small player in the development sector; the dichotomy between ‘global’ vs ‘international’ development; and the trajectory of Development Studies as a field of academic inquiry. |

7:00pm - 9:00pm |
1.5.1: When I Say Africa - Advanced Film Screening and Discussion Location: Vari Hall - VH C Chair: Deborah Anne Simpson From the sketches brought back by the first European adventurers to eerily similar news and pop culture images today, WHEN I SAY AFRICA takes a provocative look at enduring stereotypes of the African continent. It follows encounters between Africans and Americans, challenging Westerners to turn the lens on themselves and rethink doing good at home and abroad. WHEN I SAY AFRICA unpacks the problematic white savior narratives that are at the root of Western entanglements with Africa. As white filmmakers we intend the film to be a space where self awareness and a critical view of media, pop culture and humanitarianism can lead Western audiences to reflect on their complicity in systems of global privilege. The film (which remains a work in progress) sets out to disrupt problematic narratives and asks audiences to think about different ways of representing and engaging with the continent. |
