As part of our 74th Dies Natalis programme, the session will explore how knowledge within Development Studies is produced, whose perspectives and experiences shape the field, and how researchers engage with questions of power, representation and positionality in their work. Drawing on their own research and publications, the speakers will reflect on different approaches to producing and sharing knowledge and on the perspectives that inform their scholarship.
Speakers
- Ilaha Abasli, PhD candidate at ISS
- Dr Ahmed El Assal, Visiting fellow at ISS
- Dr Kaira Zoe Alburo-Cañete, Assistant Professor of Disaster and Humanitarian Studies at ISS
- Dr Tamara Soukotta, Visiting fellow at ISS
This Dies Natalis will provide a starting point for a broader conversation about contemporary research in Development Studies and the different ways in which knowledge is created, challenged and communicated.
The session will be moderated by ISS PhD candidate Jonathan Moniz, who will guide the conversation between the speakers and invite them to reflect on the connections between their publications, research experiences and the wider theme of knowledge production.
