NFU 2014 Plenary Program:

ON WHOSE TERMS? Communication, Collaboration and Power in Development Research

This year’s plenary program aims to discuss and reflect on cross-cultural communication in development research and practice. It strives at comparing development researchers’ and practitioners’ experiences with communication in different cultural and social contexts, and in the relations of power that (de)legitimize knowledge. Relevant questions here include: how do cultural differences impact knowledge production and organisation? What are fruitful ways of dealing with power asymmetries in research relations? What impacts do gender, ethnicity and class have on knowledge production and power asymmetries? What are the most effective parameters for collaborative research?

The conference program offers four plenary sessions dealing with these communicative and epistemological questions. Keynotes by: Peter Geschiere, Randi Rønning Balsvik, Mulumebet Zenebe, Natalia Kukarenko, Anne Britt Flemmen, Torjer Olsen, Rachel Issa Djesa, Lisbet Holtedahl, Francis Nyamnjoh, Jesper Simonsen, Sverre Jervell.
