Event details
This event co-organized by the Interdisciplinary Global Development Centre (IGDC) and the York Centre for Conflict and Security (YCCS) is designed to catalyze new research collaborations by bringing together scholars working at the intersection of environment, development, and security studies.
We will be joined by Rachael Diprose who is a Professor of Development Studies in the School of Social and Political Sciences (SSPS) and the Associate Dean - Partnerships for the Faculty of Arts at the University of Melbourne. She has published widely on inequalities, conflict dynamics, and political order. Her present research focuses on 1) extractive economies and the implications for populations, environmental sustainability governance and climate change, and 2) social inclusion, gender inequalities and empowerment. Professor Diprose will be sharing her ongoing research on gender and political participation in rural Indonesia.
If you are interested in giving a flash talk, please email igdc@york.ac.uk. Presentations should consist of 1- 2 slides (5 minutes), showcasing your research interests and expertise, and what you might be looking for / can offer in a cross-centre collaboration.
You are welcome to join without presenting. This event is open to all research-active staff across the University including PhDs and PDRAs.
