DESCRIPTION:A day-long conference hosted by the Institute for the Study of 
 International Development\, and organized by Professor Yann le Polain de W
 aroux.  Register online HERE.\n\nLand is where our lives are lived – it is
  a source of food\, it is home\, territory\, it is what our cities are bui
 lt on\, what supports life-sustaining ecosystems. It is also a contested r
 esource\, a source of meaning to some and a commodity to others. It is at 
 the core of the question of development. In this conference\, we will expl
 ore some of the many intersections of land and development\, drawing from 
 multiple disciplinary and geographical perspectives.\n\nThe conference wil
 l feature a series of short talks by researchers at different stages of th
 eir careers (graduate students\, postdocs\, and faculty)\, as well as keyn
 ote talks by two stellar guest speakers: Wendy Wolford\, from Cornell Univ
 ersity (bio)\, and Ben McKay\, from the University of Calgary (bio).\n\nTh
 is conference is made possible in part through the support of the Dean of 
 Arts Development Fund (DADF).\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n				Time\n			\n			\n				Activity\n			\n			\n				Speaker\n
