DevSouth: Development Economics in the South Workshop

DevSouth is a one-and-a-half-day workshop intended to foster the regional network of development economics based in the South. After two successful years at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, the University of Georgia is excited to host this year’s iteration and continue providing a successful catalyst for connecting researchers at different career stages working on a variety of issues central to development economics.

The event will primarily consist of longer presentations on various topics in development economics. There will also be a breakout session, allowing non-presenting participants to get feedback and advice on their work in an informal setting, and networking opportunities during meals and coffee breaks. All meals will be provided and there is no registration fee to attend.

Paper submissions are due March 15, and we expect decisions to be announced by March 31. Please have your paper title, abstract and PDF version of your paper ready when filling out the form.

We have a strong preference for papers not close to being accepted for publication in a journal at the time of submission. Preference will also be given to scholars from Southern institutions. It is expected that authors of accepted papers will submit their final paper by April 30,2025.

A block of discounted hotel rooms will be available for workshop participants. More information to come.
