The Human Development and Capability Association (HDCA) was launched in September 2004 at the Fourth Capability Conference in Pavia, Italy. It was founded to promote research from many disciplines on key problems including poverty, justice, well-being, and economics.
The Association holds annual conferences; maintains a website and mailing list; supports training activities; and provides a forum in which collaborative research can emerge.
The HDCA also produces a peer-reviewed journal, the Journal of Human Development and Capabilities: A Multi-Disciplinary Journal for People-Centered Development. The association is supported by the Canadian International Development Research Centre (IDRC).
Presidents The economist and nobel Laureate Amartya Sen was the founding president and remained President until 2006 when philosopher, Martha Nussbaum, took over. She was succeeded in 2008 by Frances Stewart, who specializes in development studies. Economist Kaushik Basu became president in 2010 and was replaced by another economist, Tony Atkinson, in 2012.
The next president was the philosopher, Henry S. Richardson; he became president in September 2014 and served until 2016. The current president, economist Ravi Kanbur, took the position in September 2016 after completing one year as president elect. Kanbur serves until September 2018.
