#SPHR23: Reclaiming Power
#SPHR2023 offered scholars and practitioners a valuable space to exchange perspectives on the Decolonization and Development for Africa and People of African Descent.
SPHR 2023
In November 2023, we gathered for the 2023 Social Practice of Human Rights, co-convening with the International Conference on the Right to Development, focused on the theme – “Decolonization and Development for Africa and People of African Descent.” This SPHR23 blog series captures the discussions and shares the learning that occurred during the conference around the themes of (1) the right to development; (2) building social movements; (3) just energy transitions; and (4) identity and belonging — as applied to Africa and the people of African descent.
