Seminar Series

We host academic seminars every Thursday, where researchers present ongoing or published academic work. These hybrid sessions allow you to participate either in person at our offices or online, giving you the flexibility to join from anywhere. Our seminars cover a wide range of topics with a particular focus on inequality. This aligns with our mission to drive thought leadership in the Global South, fostering meaningful discussions on its causes and solutions. We aim to create a vibrant platform for scholarly debate, where ideas are exchanged, critiqued, and advanced. Whether you’re a researcher, student, or simply passionate about the issues, our seminar series is the perfect space for intellectual growth and collaboration.
