Thank you @LeonTikly for an inspiring and thoughtful keynote at #nordev21, much to the benefit of all in attendance! Your challenging of matters taken all too easily for granted are a necessary contribution to 'development'. 👏🙏👍✊

Nice stimulating ideas in our #NorDev21 panel on #TaxEvasion: governance, citizenship, intl-regional orgs, world-systems, etc. Got to discuss my preliminary research on #IllicitFinancialFlows and logic of #competitiveness, and argue #IFFs as both a financial & production process.

How and why should we decolonize academia? In his keynote address, @LeonTikly highlighted 3 key pillars: decolonising curriculum, democratising the university, and decolonising research #NorDev21

[Nordic Development Research Conference 2021 @NorDev21]

How else can we go about decolonising education? Are we encouraging people in the Global South to undertake research? Important questions to reflect upon.

4 inspiring working groups met this morning! Group D1 discussed civic engagement and various conceptualizations of citizenship in Uganda and Tanzania.

Good morning and welcome to Day 2 of the #NorDev21 Conference! Which working groups are you joining today?

Congratulations @SweDevNetwork on your launch!

Nice to skåla together and get to know each other in breakout rooms.

See you tomorrow for Day 2 of our conference! #NorDev21

Interesting roundtable discussion about bringing researchers and policy practitioners together. Face-to-face encounters? Finding a common language? New ways of communicating? How do you think we can bring these two worlds together? #saunatalks #NorDev21 #NorDev

[Swedish Development Research Network @SweDevNetwork]

Large, long-term funding for 5-6 years leads to impact while seed funding enables new partnerships. @unipidfinland Director Johanna Kivimäki presents results from their benchmarking study on research funding. CC @NorDev21 #NorDev2021

As we continue to transition to online & blended learning, how can we create equitable and inclusive spaces? What types of policies and collective thinking do we need to ensure social cohesion?

We would love to hear your thoughts!
