InSight: Canadian National Students' Conference in IDS

The aim of the InSight conference is the exploration of the unique perspectives and contributions of undergraduates in the field of International Development Studies. InSight's most basic goal is the enrichment of the student's learned and lived experience.

Our hope is to build a community of IDS undergraduates, within which we may augment both the depth and breadth of our studies through the generation of a shared purpose; coming together to exchange – and create – information, skills, resources and knowledge; undertaking our own development initiatives; and the building of North-South student partnerships.

More broadly, the purpose of the conference is to investigate the tension between theory and practice, academics and action, and truth and fact, in development and its study. In this, InSight is committed to the undergraduate voice, energy, creativity and idealism.
