About the event

An international student conference on ‘Power and contestations in Global Worlds: Identities, Conflicts, and Developmental Challenges.’

The Democratic Education Network of the University of Westminster (DEN Westminster) welcomes undergraduate and postgraduate students from the University of Westminster and beyond to join us for the fifth DEN international student conference on 4 May.

Can there be a consensus on the role of business in development? Is the rule of law a panacea for injustices, or is it a tool for the powerful? Can conflicts, especially when mediatized, be resolved in an era of great power competition? Does development mean the same to indigenous communities of Peru as to residents of Shanghai? Do the refugees fleeing the Syrian war experience the same "civilized Europe" and "humanity" as those fleeing the Ukraine conflict? Can we genuinely decolonize and diversify education to make it inclusive for all?
