Enacting Improvement: A One-Day Conference on the Ethics of Development and Philanthropy
Location: CRASSH, 17 Mill Lane
Conveners: Catherine Trundle and Nayanika Mathur (Social Anthropology, Cambridge)
The words 'development' and 'philanthropy' have slipped with great ease into the lexicon of 21st century societies. Despite being billion dollar global industries, the underlying premises of these practices—for instance altruism and the will to improve—remain to be fully theorized. Focusing on the ethics of development and charity workers, volunteers and agencies, this conference will consider the contingent, complex and contradictory ethical frameworks that guide agents of philanthropy and development in the enactment of improvement. Attention will be paid to the ways that abstract ethical principles, such as utopian discourses of salvation, liberation, empowerment, humanism, and freedom, must contend with the often messy pragmatics of administering aid and charity, as well as alternative visions of help and need from aid and charity recipients.

Chasing Eden/ Nature, Health and the Politics of Environment
Altough post-1960 modern environmentalism seemed to promise an increased level of political activism in relation to the environment, an awkward tension between policy and politics persisted. An increasingly urbanized, fast-paced global political economy has struggled to appreciate the complexities and different temporal dimensions of ‘nature’s economy’. Moreover, the rise of technocratic, professional government has alienated the necessary ‘mass movement’ from environmental policy, which is deemed the preserve of specialist scientists. Similarly, the historical study of the environment and environmental ideas has become increasingly intellectually urgent, but it has engaged little with political history.
A number of important historical works on the environmental history of various countries, on colonialism and the natural world, and on environmental ideas have appeared. But the history of environmental politics as a popular or electoral phenomenon remains neglected. In part this reflects the failure of environmental history to filter its methods and interests into political history. On the other hand, political historians (especially British) remain largely bound to the study of traditional topics - radicalism, liberalism, conservatism, popular politics – with little appreciation for the role of nature and the environment. This two-day conference seeks to encourage a conversation between historians of politics and historians of science, medicine, and environment on the topic of environmental politics in the modern era (particularly the nineteenth and twentieth centuries).
