2021 Human Development and Capability Association Conference: ‘Capabilities and Transformative Institutions’
2021 Human Development and Capability Association Conference: ‘Capabilities and Transformative Institutions’
Antwerp, Belgium
13-15 September 2021

How can we organize for the world of tomorrow? Covid-19 has taught us that we are not ready. We have re-discovered our common vulnerability – not only to a virus, but also to policy mismatch, institutional hiccups and authoritarian backlash. Divided we stood, unable to act in concert, lacking real opportunities for deliberation. How can we improve the structures of living together and face the challenges ahead to build a more just and sustainable world? The HDCA Conference 2021 puts this question center stage.

Institutions, social arrangements, or the structures which emerge from our social living, have been conceived in different ways in the variety of disciplines that engage with the capability approach. The conference will provide an opportunity to let these various understandings speak to and learn from each other.

A hybrid conference format is currently envisaged: If you can and want to, you’ll be able to attend the conference in-person in Antwerp. If you cannot or prefer not to travel – for health reasons, but perhaps also for ecological ones – you can join online. The organizers also envisage scenarios for a completely online conference in case the health security situation would not allow for a “live” conference.
