After a brief absence due to Unpacking Development getting hacked last week, we’re back up and ready to go again.  This week in Toronto there are a bunch of conferences and speakers around international development, health and politics:

Symposium: MEASURING THE IMPACT OF DOING GOOD
Wednesday, January 21
Joseph L. Rotman School of Management, 105 St. George St

Symposium: EXTREME POVERTY, HUMAN RIGHTS & HEALTH
Thursday, January 22 - 12:30pm – 4pm
Music Room, Hart House, University of Toronto

Speaker: Dealing with Dictators
Thursday, January 22 - 7pm – 9pm
Hart House, 7 Hart House Circle, University of Toronto Debates Room (2nd floor)

I plan to attend the session on Extreme Poverty, Human Rights and Health so stay tuned for my impressions.

As well, there are some ongoing arts-based events related to conflict, design and African culture happening around the city.

Exhibit: Battleground - War Carpets from Afghanistan

Exhibit: Design for the Other 90%
