SUMMARY:Alumni Panel: Experiencing & Undoing Discrimination in Development
DESCRIPTION:The work of development is to improve quality of life and expand economic opportunity across diverse global communities\, and graduate programs such as the MPA/ID program at HKS are enormously diverse in national origin\, gender\, and professional and lived experience. Yet\, a 2020 survey of MPA/ID alumni revealed that roughly half of all respondents have encountered discrimination in some form (either being harmed by it\, being complicit in it\, or observing it). \n	In the Fall of 2021\, the Diversity in Development series discussed the problems of limited diversity in the field of international development and introduced frameworks for understanding the problem. It also considered diverse approaches to the goals of “development\,” including aspects of self-determination\, capabilities\, and justice\, and the extent to which a vision of development is shared. These sessions laid the theoretical frameworks for thinking about the ultimate goals of international development approaches. \n	This Spring\, we are turning the spotlight on MPA/ID alumni who are dealing with these issues on the ground every day. Specifically\, we ask them to reflect and share: i) lived experiences with discrimination in the sector and ii) how they are elevating voices of those closest to the challenges they seek to solve. Join the alumni for a rich discussion of the complexities of these deeply rooted patterns and opportunities to shift power in international development. \n	Panelists:Amna Awan\, Gender Advisor at Karandaaz PakistanCarolyn Fallert\, writerJohanan Rivera\, Manager of Programs\, Environment; IMAGORodrigo Salvado\, Deputy Director\, Development Policy and Finance; Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation \n	Moderator:Michael Walton\, Senior Lecturer in Public Policy\, Harvard Kennedy School \n	All speakers will be virtual\, but we’ve reserved WEX W-G02 (seating capacity of 40) as a viewing room. Please register in advance and contact Chuck McKenney with any questions.

SUMMARY:Diversity in Development: Alternative Visions of “Development”
DESCRIPTION:The first session of this Diversity in Development series discussed facts of the problem of limited diversity in the field of international development and introduced frameworks for understanding the problem. In this second session\, panelists will discuss goals of “development” and the extent to which a vision of development is shared\, including aspects of self-determination\, capabilities\, and justice. Development has most commonly been defined as “economic development\,” with GDP per capita as a central indicator. There is an extensive history of scholarship offering alternative definitions\, ranging from happiness\, to critical consciousness\, to institutional strength\, to biological health\, and more. The panelists will explore the question of what the goal of development really is or should be from a variety of perspectives. 	Panelists:Megan Hill\, Program Director\, Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development\, and Director\, Honoring NationsLant Pritchett\, RISE Research Director at the Blavatnik School of Government\, University of OxfordChristy Thornton\, Assistant Professor\, Sociology and Latin American Studies at Johns Hopkins UniversityMeera Tiwari\, Reader (Associate Professor)\, International Development Studies at the University of East LondonModerator:Nikita Taniparti\, Research Manager at the Growth Lab 	Please register in advance to attend this webinar. Contact Chuck McKenney with any event-related questions. 	This series is hosted in coordination with the MPA/ID Program and the MPA/ID alumni community.
