Thematic Groups

The Human Development and Capability Association encourages researchers who share common interests to organize thematic groups. At present, sixteen thematic groups are active. If you are involved in a similar thematic group, or if you would like to start one, please read and complete the following document and hence contact us at info@hd-ca.org. Please know that the thematic groups currently work only in English.

Select Group
Foundational Issues in the Capability Approach
This thematic group brings together researchers concerned with Foundational Conceptual Issues in the development & capability theory and literature. We aim to provide a platform to support and promote foundational research within the HDCA community about important concepts in the Capability Approach such as agency, freedom, evaluation, justice, and well-being. The group will have an email list for sharing questions, comments, working papers, bibliographic references, and announcements of relevant events such as conferences. Activities: We will organise panel sessions at future HDCA conferences. An international workshop between the annual HDCA conferences is also being considered.
If you would like to join this group click here. You will need to be logged in, and you must be a current HDCA member.
