UNRISD Young Scholars Think Piece Series
UNRISD is inviting post-graduate students to send innovative contributions to its new Young Scholars Think Piece Series.
The Series aims to provide promising young researchers with an opportunity to present their research on social development on a wider platform than is possible within a university setting, thereby contributing to the diversity of ideas within the development community.
The Series will take place in thematically organized, time-bound editions. This current first edition has a submission period from February to March 2014 and is based on the theme of Extractive Industries and Social Development.
First Edition: Extractive Industries and Social Development. The deadline for submission is 21 March 2014, and importantly, contributions must be endorsed by a member of faculty who is familiar with the field.
Young scholars are invited to submit think pieces of up to 2,000 words that speak to issues relevant to social development in mineral-rich contexts and/or related to extractive industries such as:
- Human rights
- Environment
- Business/Corporate Social Responsibility
- Migration
- Gender
- Children
- Social Policy
- Social Development
- Communities/Local Development
- Indigenous Peoples
