Fair Trade and the SDGs: Investigating the fairness of sustainable development
Preparations for the upcoming Fair Trade International Symposium (Portsmouth Business School, Portsmouth, UK / 26-28 June 2018) are well under way.
Abstracts: the FTIS Steering Group has decided to offer a final extension until 16 February. Please confirm with Prof Matthew Anderson (matthew.anderson@port.ac.uk) if you are planning to submit an abstract and whether you will be able to meet the 16 February deadline.
Update: a good range of papers have been received – both academic and policy-focused research, and work is underway on a possible special issue with the Journal of Business Ethics and a book proposal with Practical Action Publishing. In addition to the discussions on papers, there will also be a number of workshops covering topics such as: research dissemination and impact; Fair Trade universities (new campaigns and award schemes); Fair Trade research consortium for collaborative grant bids.
