It does so by promoting collaboration amongst poverty-focused academics, by helping them reach out to broader audiences on issues of poverty, and by helping them turn their expertise into impact through specific intervention projects.
Learn more at: www.academicsstand.org.
The first day of the conference will bring together leading experts in development, aid, and global justice to discuss the future of global poverty alleviation after the expiration of the Millennium Development Goals in 2015.
Speakers will examine the record of increasing global inequality, innovations in development such as large-scale microfinance projects, and poverty measurement and trends. On the second day, experts in ethics and psychology will discuss how cognitive science and moral psychology can help us to more effectively motivate individuals to fulfill their moral obligations to alleviate global poverty.
